You need to create a REST API (PHP) fetch & update data from the centralized Mysql DB.
You can call this through NSURLConnection. Your REST API returns XML or JSON.from you coding u can write coding to parse.

I want to create a chat app in Flutter but all chat data need to store on my server Mysql via PHP API as backend. (I do not want Firebase Firestore or Realtime database)
As many people create chat app on the web via the help of JavaScript, jQuery & Ajax but I don't know how I will use this on Flutter.
You can create your database with MySQL, and your backend API with php. For the backend you can use SLIM or Laravel or any other php framework. Then in your flutter code you will need to make http requests to this API.
A problem that you can face is Realtime because streams in flutter do not make the data retrieval realtime from a php API. To solve this you will need to add a timer that periodically refreshes the chat. A better solution is to use sockets to make the chat realtime. You can also use firebase cloud messaging for notifications which is free of charge.

I've searched and I can only find tutorials to pull info from a server to update the latest info of my PWA app using JSON. But I can't find any way and any example to fetch data back to a server to mantain for instance a Database updated and display that to all users which may use that PWA.
For example, I have a PWA that let me login (client-server communication), then it displays a list of contacts that were stored in a Database. I can delete, modify or add new users to this list from my PWA app, and after doing that, they'll update on my server Database, so if my friend Paul, wants to check the updated list from his account, he'll see the new changes.
How Can I do that? Which language would I have to use, php and Javascript (Ajax)? Which is the most fluid and optimized way to do it according to a Progressive Web App.
I guess you are trying to store user changes back to the server(webservice and then to the data base).
You have to make an AJAX call to your web service and pass the required data needed to store in DB.
Here is an example.

Depending on the framework you are using, you might have more options to call a web service. Like here is an example for Angular -> https://www.w3schools.com/angular/angular_http.asp
I am integrating an Ionic Framework with Laravel. In MYSQL table there is a option table(master-table) which is having certain options says Table, chairs, suite case etc etc.
I am not getting how can I fetch the data of table in ionic view to display all the options in dropdown.
When I was developing web Application as its in laravel, so in blade view I can directly able to fetch it.But I am not getting an Idea how to do it in ionic view, as I am consuming API services.
Please guide me for this.
For safety reasons it is usually best practice to create a rest api and call the endpoints via the http module to access your database. See the link: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/http/
If you choose to access the database that means you would have to store credentials in the ionic app which is quite dangerous.
I have a web app with a MySQL database we maintain in the cloud that we are trying to integrate with our QuickBooks Online account. We want to sync data between or web app's database and QuickBooks online, such as customer names and addresses. If they update their address in or web app, it's easy to then update it in QuickBooks online using the QuickBooks Online API. However, if they tell us their new address over the phone and we change it directly in QuickBooks online, we have no idea how to have that trigger something so that it automatically updates our MySQL web app. How do we go about doing this or learning about this process?
Intuit/QuickBooks has an API that's specifically geared towards this use-case. From the docs:
The change data capture (CDC) operation returns a list of entities that have changed since a specified time. This operation is for an app that periodically polls Data Services and then refreshes its local copy of entity data.
Docs are here:
https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0100_accounting/0300_developer_guides/change_data_capture
Basically you make an OAuth signed HTTP GET request like this:
https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/1234/cdc?entities=Class,Item,Invoice&changedSince=2012-07-20T22:25:51-07:00
And you get back a list of objects that have changed since the given date/time.
Your application can remember the last time you called this, and periodically call this API to get things that have changed since the last time you called it.
You get back something like this:
<IntuitResponse xmlns="http://schema.intuit.com/finance/v3" time="2013-04-03T10:36:19.393Z">
<CDCResponse>
<QueryResponse>
<Customer>...
</Customer>
<Customer>...
</Customer>
</QueryResponse>
<QueryResponse>
<Invoice>...
</Invoice>
<Invoice>...
</Invoice>
</QueryResponse>
</CDCResponse>
</IntuitResponse>
Now I can create a web service for updating pass successfully. Next, I want to create an app by using xcode in order to set at the back of pass. I use many locations of companies for locations in pass. The app I will create is the detail of those locations, so how can I use data in company table to show in table view of the app ? I used to use sqlite for storing data for app, but now I already have database from web service, so what should I do to get those data ? How can I connect MYSQL and xcode ?
