Android app with PHP scripts calling the backend on cloud sql.

Hi guys.

I have an android app which I would like to connect to my backend.

The backend calls are made by PHP scripts while the database is built using mysql.

Application Flow:

• I have imported mysql database on CloudSQL
  
• Deployed my PHP app on the app engine. [My Id has been Whitelisted]
• Provided links to the Android app to connect to the App Engine app.
• And links in the PHP app to connect to the database on the google cloud SQL.

My doubt here is:

1. Can the android app connect to the App Engine app [in PHP] without itself actually being an App Engine application?
2. The android app returns an error when run, which is something like:   

   PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): Unable to find the socket transport "unix" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

   
   
   
   
   Help me out Guys!
   Thanks.
