title: Which framework is the best to develop a mobile application using database connection?
body: <p>I developed a website using PHP5. Now, I want to sum up the main features of my website in a cross-platform mobile application.</p>
  
  <p>I did some research about frameworks which can do this. I found 'jQuery Mobile', 'SenchaTouch' and 'Cordova' which are the most popular. But I want to develop an application which needs to have a connection to a database and which is portable on iOS and Android (at least).</p>
  
  <p>I tried 'jQuery Mobile' but the application needs to be open in a web browser to display the application (like a simple website). For example, I would like to open my application like a current phone application without passing by a web browser using a database connection (to have the same behaviour than a current web site and display the content of MySQL request but without web browser).</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible with jQuery Mobile or another one? Or do I have to pass by a web browser? Can anyone help me, please?</p>
