How to use MySql database on github.io

Hello, I recently made app with php which is using mysql database, I was working on XAMPP localserver.
Is there a way I can host my app on my github.io pages? If not what are good alternatives?

Github pages only allow for static content, so you'd have to use something like Firebase in order to get a database. I am not very experienced with free hosting but I know that a lot of these platforms are pretty bad and will try to display ads on your site. That's why I recommend you to take a real hosting plan (around $2 per month) or to switch to Firebase (can take a lot of time to recode since this is a no-SQL database)

Yeah, it would either need to compile to static at build timeβ€” or an async call to the database for custom data directly from the DB

You can't use GitHub pages, but glitch.com will work! Remix lamp-poc.
