I am relatively new to the ESP8266 and was wondering if the ESP8266 could read from a MySQL database hosted on the web.

I have seen that PHP pages are used to write to MySQL databases but I have yet to come across an example that shows a read to get data into an Arduino sketch.

Any help or guidance to examples would be much appreciated.

A PHP script that reads from a database, and presents the results in a format readable from the ESP, seems something relatively easy to do.

Yes, for instance, I can use a ESP and a PHP script to manage MYSQL databases, however I can't use the data inside the database to change ESP outputs, which is my goal at the moment.

Any ideas?
