Data Storage (Forms)

Knowing nothing about coding android/ios apps, I wondered if someone can help me. I have mentioned this in other posts, but I have done a bit of research and have further questions. I want to be able to store a student timetable. Basically, within the app, a user would select 'Timetable' they can then enter what subjects they have each day (Mon Lesson 1, Monday Lesson 2, Monday Lesson 3) etc. They can then quickly look and see what lessons they have. I know I could do some research and figure out how to do it in eclipse or xcode, but considering I have a Web App, Blackberry, Buzz Touch (Android/iPhone) - this is going to cause me massive duplication of coding. With that said, I wondered if anyone would be able to help. I am looking for a user to store their username and timetable via a web form: which is perhaps stored in an MySQL database. Users can then enter their username (Perhaps in another custom html page) and their timetable would be retrieved from the table. Would anyknow know if this is possible? Many thanks.

Yes, this is possible, but will take a bit of work. Just have a custom HTML page in your app created that has form fields. That page will send the data from the fields to a .php script on your server that will add the data to your database. When students want to access that data they will navigate in your app to a Custom URL page. That page will will point to a .php file on your server that queries the server for the students information and returns the data as an HTML page to the screen in your app.
