I am using a simple log in page as a start page to my application. When details entered, the app will check details with an external mySQL database and come back to connect or give error message. I am doing all these via php and all files are with .php extension.
But how do I do this with PhoneGap? I read around and php is not recognized on PhoneGap and moreover I can no longer place my php files on the server side. All files are going to be compiled via phonegap build which would sit on the mobile device itself.
How do I connect to my external mySQL database for PhoneGap? Seen the following guide which does uses a php script. I tried and it is not working. I don't get how it would work anyway since I can't place my php script on a server side.
