Hi

I created a website on [www.000webhost.com](http://www.000webhost.com) and use the online MySQL database. I would like to retrieve/insert and update data on the MySQL database through a Thunkable X app. I currently use PHP pages to access the database.

Is it possible to connect to the MySQL database with Thunkable X? If so, any pointers will be appreciated.

Regards,

Jason

You could do it using the Web Api component and you make your own Api in your PHP site
