Communicate with MySQL Database with PHP in a jQuery Mobile Application

Question

I'm looking for the simplest system for communicating with a MySQL database and an app being developed for iOS.

All the data is on the online database and I'm looking for the user to be able to retrieve and submit information to the tables just as a normal desktop browser would.

I'm developing with Dreamweaver and packaging it for mobile release using the jQuery Mobile templates (which are in HTML), is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

JSON is the way forward! I created a web-service and used Javascript and jQuery to retrieve the values from the MySQL database.
