Sending & recieving data from MySQL

Hi folks,

Currently delivering a HND module using a PHPMyadmin / SQL database back end and we're going to be making a Front End app in construct 2 to control the database.

Found these 2 tutorials on the knowledge base and just want to make sure I'm on the right track with this before I fire it at the students.

scirra.com/tutorials/296/sending-info-to-a-mysql-database

scirra.com/tutorials/525/simple-login-using-a-mysql-database

The app I'm getting my students to make will be able to access data in the database, edit & overwrite existing records and display what's already there.

My question is: Is there already a straightforward plugin to do this, or does it all need to be done from scratch?

Cheers,

Matt

Just wanted to bump this topic and see if anyone has any ideas.

Cheers!

You should give a look at Firebase. It has been acquired by Google. There are some tutorials laying around. I've tried to play with it a little and it works very well. You must use Rex's plugins for it.
