Can PhoneGap apps use server pages to load on it?

I am trying to do web apps using PhoneGap framework for iOS. I need to know whether PhoneGap loads page from server or not, I mean , can I use server side scripting language like php, pyhon, etc? And i开发者_如何转开发f I used those scripting language, can I use phone native feature like camera?

Also for data storage there may be feature, I heard opendatabase can be used for online / offline database. Please anyone help me to figure out these things. Waiting for good answer. Thanks

Server side scripts cannot be loaded from within the app, however you can certainly call out to PHP, Python, etc running on a server from the app using AJAX, XHR, etc.

I gave an example in the question below:
