database html 5
Can html 5 connect to server side databases?
I cant see anywhere how i can connect to a sql server DB or mysql.
Also I dont want to use a complicated solution or is it in the pipeline to develop?

A browser cannot connect directly to a database your need some kind of server side scripting as mentioned php is widely used and asp and jsp are also common.
The choice of server scripting language depends on the server environment.

ok so i can include php/mysql like in html 4 eg nothing has changed
there is no DB features with html5 and server side DB's

HTML5 is just markup it adds new features on the client side, but it never directly interacts with anything outside the browser. Once a page is downloaded it is just data that the browser uses to build the document object. all the dynamic come from javascript manipulating the on the document object and the built in methods of embedded objects.

only plugins such as activex and applets can access databases directly from the browser
No different than HTML 4 or XHTML. Activex has been around over 10 years and is IE only, and applets almost as long.
And they bath have security risk associated with them.
