My production server is on a shared hosting (cPanel) account. Node.js is not an option for me (it's fine for dev purposes as I'm setting up a virtual box for dev).
The server will need to act as a backup to the local devices (which will use PouchDB) as well as push updates out to the clients. There won't be any queries directly on the server side DB. My understanding of PouchDB is that it was rewritten in JavaScript but is based on CouchDB. It is also my understanding that it actually uses IndexedDB, WebSQL (or others as made available by the browser) for its actual storage. I'm hoping there is something like that for PHP. My thinking is that it could use MySQL to actually store the data and it could provide an API that would expect/receive the same requests as CouchDB. Then it would provide the same responses that CouchDB would provide. Is there such a thing available? Don
