title: Xcode: Easiest Way To Send Data From iOS TextField For Example To A Remote Database
body: <p>I currently have an online web hosted MySQL database with HostGator.com that currently stores user sign ups for a service of mine. Currently, the only way to store information in that database is from my online form on a website. </p>
  
  <p>My goal is to replicate that form on an iOS app by using textfields etc. What I need help figuring out is, how can I take the data input from the user on the iOS app, and send that information to the MySQL database. From what I found, there is no way to go from iOS straight to MySQL, so I would need to use PHP as well. However, how do I get that data from the iOS app to PHP so that I can send the data from PHP to the MySQL database? As well as, how I can I do the vice versa, meaning, if I wanted, how can I send a message back from PHP to the iOS app?</p>
  
  <p>I have heard people suggest SQLite, but that appears to be a local database on the iOS which I do not need. I do not want to store anything locally on the app. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
