Can I write a web program in PHP and then turn it into a mobile app? Is there any specific software doing this?

Answer 1

No. And yes. What you do with php is the backend. The part that retrieves data from the database and forwards it to the user. An app is frontend, just like the html/css/js trinity in your browser.

So yes you can simply use the php parts for mobile as well, but no. That will not give you an app to view them.

Answer 2

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to write a web program with lots of options and control flow and then turn it into an app like an android app. It seems like this isn't the way.
