Question : MySQl --->  xxx ---> xxx iPhone

Hello all,

My understanding is that there is no official framework for MySQL from within XCode.  I have seen that there are a couple of unofficial workarounds but can prove a security risk.

I am competent in PHP & SQL and after rooting around here on Experts-Exchange and Google I believe the way forward is to use PHP to print the results into XML format and then use NSarray to store the results.

I have seen the following code:

NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.myserver.com/results.php"];
NSArray *sqlResults = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:myURL];


I do not fully grasp the code above yet and I would love to see a a high score table example which simply retrieves from a table a username and their high score and displays it on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated and if you need any more information please just ask.

Many thanks in advance, Colin.
