Which framework is the best to develop a mobile application using database connection?

Question

I developed a website using PHP5. Now, I want to sum up the main features of my website in a cross-platform mobile application.

I did some research about frameworks

Answer 1

Types of App's

Three types of App's : native app, web app and hybrid app. But What’s the difference?

A web app will run on (almost) all smartphones, while native apps need to be developed specifically for each operating system (and even for different versions of these), and hybrids require at least the development of the native “container” that hosts the web language.

More info regarding the differences between these three apps.

Toolkit's for creating Hybrid App's

Converting web app into a mobile app is accomplished by wrapping the HTML, CSS and JavaScript inside a special container: usually the "web view" component provided by the standard mobile SDKs, along with some extra bits, such as JavaScript APIs to give the developer access to device features that the web view component doesn't provide (e.g. access to the device's GPS, camera, gestures, and notifications).

Some of these wrappers expect you to use their mobile JavaScript framework, whereas others let you use whatever JavaScript framework you prefer.

Toolkit's available :
