Hi

I want to interact my Iphone application with a php website having MySQL database.

Answer 1

the iphone have safari and that safari version has Ajax feature, so the basic answer you can do it like any other webpage development.

after if you want to implement a native app that's a different story.

I suppose you have to code a webservice (PHP) to consume data. I can imagine it's not really difficult to do HTTP request using the iphone SDK.
