xcode连接mysql,iOS Xcode连接到MySQL数据库

I'm currently making an iOS App for my school, and have no previous experience with iOS programming. However, I do have experience with HTML/PHP/MySQL.

Currently we have a basic tab bar application with 5 tabs at the bottom. Obviously, since this is an app for a school, it needs to be dynamic and hopefully we can set something up to connect to a database and retrieve school lunch menus, and news.

I know how to connect to a database normally with PHP, but I have no idea how to do it using the current version of Xcode. I've done research and apparently I need to use a webservice and json to safely get the information from the database.

Does anyone have any links for me to get started, because I have no experience at all with this program. I don't need to be spoonfed, but a point in the right direction would help. I really can't find any links for this new version of Xcode.
