title: Connect iPhone app to remote database server
body: <p>New to iPhone dev here. Just wondering what's the best way to connect an iPhone app frontend (based on Cocoa touch ) to a php/MySql based backend?</p>
  
  <p>The iPhone application will frequently access and change data stored on our server.</p>
  
  <p>Read about mysql framework and MCPKit framework but these are for cocoa not for cocoa touch.</p>
  
  <p>so can I access mysql based backend without any web service on server side.?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
