I did not know the exact structure of your app so just share my experience.

It seems that you are tyring to consume something (from a MySQL database) in your Flutter app.

I would do like below:

1. Use PHP and related framework (say Lumen, Slim) to create the API backend and expose it via an URI like: https://api.mydomain.com.
2. In your Flutter or any frontend, use language recommended way to consume the API (which normally returns JSON data) and populate your UI.

Hope that helps.
