applet and php communication

[Anon]

I have a neat little applet that does color configuration (thanks to Brian Hall http://www-students.biola.edu/~brian/csapplet.html - this is the applect i am using but on my site) with a color wheel.

I want to pass those values to a php page which will read them in.

I have heard about the infamous GET method but am a little unsure of how to use it in this case.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Heather

the get method attaches arguments to the end of the url being called so your submited page would call something like http://www.yourdomain.com?paramone=123&paramtwo=999 etc..etc..
but your sumbit form will handle this for you. just set the method to GET ...or POST ..dosn't realy matter for what your doing. now you should find that your php page that you submitted to now has access to the variables passed to it....in this case $paramone and $paramtwo with values of 123 and 999. now with these variables set up you can assembly the html that php will output and call your applet.e.g.

echo"<param name=whatever value=$paramone>";

i think that answers it..if you want to pass arguments from the applet to a php page then its a different ballgame alltogether. java dosn't support get or post..you have to open socket connections directly and pass raw header data..if your applet wasn't programmed to do this then forget it without a crash course in java

hope this helps

Java Applets do support GET & POST for information transfers across http. So you don't HAVE to use sockets. There's a tutorial on this at:
