Hi Team,
Good day

My Current Application was built by using PHP5 and MY SQL database.

Can you please suggest me the options and best practices on how to Migrate the My Application including both front end and database (Front End - PHP 5+ Backend Database - My SQL) to Office 365 SharePoint Online?

Regards,
-RK

    If you're currently using a database, migrating the contents into SharePoint Online is likely not the best solution. SharePoint Lists are not a relational database.

    I would instead suggest looking at Azure SQL PaaS + Azure App Service (Web App). If you went down this route, you would simplify your change as you can continue to use PHP should you wish, but change your provider to SQL from MyPHP.

    Hi @RKG ,

    Agree with Trevor's suggestion.

    To migrate the PHP Web app into Cloud side, you'd better create a PHP Web App in Azure rather than migrate to SharePoint Online, you can refer the official demo for a quick start:
