Get data from a Data Base in MySQL

Question

Hi guys,
I'm developing an app for my exam at school. In this app I need to query my Data Base to get my data and to create a table.
The purpose of my app is to create a list of songs that a DJ has played during a concert and automatically create a table with the song titles, artist name and date of the concert. All of these information are already stored in the Data Base.
I created an interface in Xcode where the user types in the DJ name and the date. I want to query the Data Base with these information and create a table that can be view directly on the iPhone. I think that I can send the text contained in the text field to a PHP page and then the PHP page does the query.
Is it possible doing this? Can you help me with the code?
If you need any explanation just ask me.
Thank you very much!
Angelo

Thanks for the reply, I found the problem, i was returning no.sentDate in the form YYYY-MM-DD and method getTime doesn't like so it was returning null, so what I have done was cast(no.sentDate as datetime) and also store the difference of the dates as a long variable as I need the difference between the dates not the day of the month.
My code now looks like this:
conWorkPartyID = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String sWorkOrderID = "select co.orderPartyid, no.workOrderListPartyid, wl.workOrdListDesc, cast(no.sentDate as datetime) as newDate from contractorOrders as co "+
"left join newOrders as no on no.orderPartyid = co.orderPartyid "+
"left join workOrderList as wl on wl.workOrderListPartyID = no.workOrderListPartyid "+
"where co.flagSentToContractor = 0 and co.contractorPartyid =" + sCompany;
cWorkPartyID = conWorkPartyID.executeQuery(sWorkOrderID);
while(cWorkPartyID.next()){              
Object x = cWorkPartyID.getObject("co.orderPartyid");
Object y = cWorkPartyID.getObject("no.workOrderListPartyid");
Object z = cWorkPartyID.getObject("wl.workOrdListDesc");
Date dateTest = cWorkPartyID.getDate("newDate");
Date Now = new Date();
System.out.println("dateTest is: " + dateTest.getTime());
long dif = ((Now.getTime() - dateTest.getTime())/86400000);// milliseconds to days
System.out.println("Order PartyID that require your attention is : "+ x + " and workOrderPartyid: " + y +" and WorkOrderListDesc: "
+ z + " and the sent date is: "+ dateTest + "and the difference between the insertDate and the today is in days: "
+ dif);
cWorkPartyID.close();
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for answering so soon.
Good night!
