Have you tried browsing to your website from your android phone? No matter what it's written in (PHP, COBOL, ASP.Net), it just returns a bunch of HTML which is rendered by the browser which in this case just happens to be on an Android phone.

It is mostly a bad approach to parse a website to retrieve its data.

A better way is it to abstract the data layer so several User Interfaces can access it. There is a question over here, which deals with RESTful apis with php.

Question :

Is your Website support Responsive Design ?
Do you want to use same view as in your web site ?
