HTML5 and Server-Side Database

Hi Everyone,

I have a few 'mobile' and 'cross-platform' projects. I am investigating HTML5 and JavaScript as a solution. However, I can't seem to find good direction as to how to get data into the project. I was considering HTML5 and JavaScript. However, both those platforms run client-side, and the databases are mostly located server-side.

I have mainly 3 different database engines I encounter, Oracle, MySQL and MSSQL. Due to the dynamic nature of today's IT environments, I don't want to be limited to a specific database, but I'm willing to incorporate APIs for each, if available, simple and pure.

The only solution (or platform) I've worked with that I'm familiar with and can do this, is PHP. However, I want to minimise 3rd party platforms and keep the solution as pure and simplified (regards to plugins, etc.) as possible. But I do sense that it may be the only (or best solution in my case) to go. (That is, PHP)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
