Question

Answer 1

Usually you would connect to your database through a WebService.

Popular choices are:

• SOAP (your webserver / PHP software must implement a SOAP protocol) - take a look here http://ksoap2.sourceforge.net/ and wikipedia on SOAP
• custom JSON API - same like SOAP, but in a protocol called JSON (more concise)
• Your custom API
