Last week, we implemented Sammy JS in order to start building a mobile hybrid app. This week, we take it further and add an external "API" using PHP accessible with AJAX.

This will allow us to build a flat HTML app for iOS and Android but still be able to have dynamic data. In this tutorial, we set up our remote server, set up our database, and build the AJAX queries.

Once this implementation is in place, we can pull external data from any server regardless of programming language.

In this tutorial, we go over the implementation of AJAX using a remote PHP server API we create and how that works into our hybrid app built using Sammy JS.
