Hello everyone,

I am new to Thunkable but have created a complete with AppInventor. The simple question is how to call .php files running on a server and handling a MYSQL DB. I would be very thankful for a complete example of blocks showing the entire mechanism. One remark is that I cannot seem to find in my Thunkable Pro the call “from Web\_API1 SET URL” command.  
Thankful for any answer.  
BR

Hi @pmginvestda6z, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out our posts about [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1) and our [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8) as you get started.

Just doing a quick search here of the same keywords, I found this post from not long about running a php script on a server that pulls data from a MySQL database. I would suggest starting here.

If you are wanting someone to do this for you, you can always post your request for paid work in our [Freelance / Paid Help Opportunities - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/c/freelance-paid-help-opportunities/87) category

As for the block for setting the URL, that is part of our Web API blocks. I will link to the docs for those here:

> **[Web APIs Blocks](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/advanced-app-features/web-api)**

You can also set the URL by clicking on the gear icon for the Web API you’ve added in the advanced blocks drawer and add it in there.
