Need Help: Database issues in NativePHP iOS (pgsql extension)

[swift hare]

Update: I made some progress!

It turns out the blank page issue was caused by having nativephp/laravel installed — I had added it earlier while trying to configure an external PostgreSQL database. After removing the nativephp/laravel package, the blank screen issue is gone!

However, I’m now getting the following error:

could not find driver (Connection: pgsql, SQL: select * from "sessions" where "id" = 4d3PBwSM9WqqacCYmYhtOUvfNChmzWKNmhr5FaZk limit 1)

It looks like the app still can’t connect to the PostgreSQL database. Do I need to install something specific to enable the pgsql driver in the NativePHP environment?

Thanks again for your help!

There is no mysql /pgsql support for NativePHP - this is as a measure of security. In order to hit a mysql db externally you would have to put prod credentials in the app, which can be hacked (technically).
DON'T DO THIS - Make an API layer. This is the standard for mobile app development.

I'm encountering an error in NativePHP Desktop. So, if only my client is using this application and they have an existing local MySQL/PostgreSQL database, I won't be able to connect to it? In that case, should I create an API beforehand?
