Couldn't the JFX client read and write the database directly? @Charles Tam, The reason of using PHP as a middle tier is mainly for security consideration. If you use direct connection from your JavaFX client to DB, your db is exposed to the internet. You also rely on the client to perform tasks such as data validation. This is generally not suitable for an internet application. Having said that, the two tier architecture sometimes may fit into an intranet environment, such as a more secure corporate network environment.
