I want to implement an android phone to obtain server database information. I wonder if I can use PHP to develop a database server.

Question

I'm a newbie. The front-end software for Android phones already exists, using json format for communication, and the back-end service software is tomcat. Now I want to establish a connection between tomcat and mysqli to realize the data acquisition function of the front-end android mobile phone. Can it be developed using the PHP toolbox? What other development tools are needed, thank you
