Does MySQL have a Stored Procedure equivalent?

I've only used ASP and MS SQL Server before but I want to learn PHP and
MySQL. Does MySQL have an equivalent of Microsoft's Stored Procedures (i.e.
T-SQL)?

Not yet. Stored procedures will become available in MySQL 5.0 but that's
some way off from release yet as it's still only an Alpha release. Postgres
(www.postgresql.org) does support stored procedures.
