Is it possible to execute functions in a hosted php file from android/java? : <p>I have an amazon web services MySql database that I want to perform CRUD operations on from an android application. I think that the way to do this is through some HTTP protocol and get and post operations. However, I have access to PHP code that connects to the database and allows me to execute quires. This PHP code is hosted on an elastic beanstalk application. Someone else has used this same code to connect the database to IOS. I am just trying to figure out how it all works.</p>

<p>Is it possible to use the PHP that is hosted to act as an API for me? </p>

<p>--I cant post any links due to security concerns, sorry.--</p>
