calling functions from forms

[Anon]

I have a java applet that gets a number. There is an applet method that can return the number, but I need a way to get that number into the php part of my code. If there a way to have a form where the action of the form could call a php function (that would then retrieve the number from the applet)? I want to do all of this on the same page. Optionally, I could make the java applet a pop-up applet that could return the value to the php form on the calling page, but I dont know how to do this either.

Thanks,
JDr

Java applet that viewed in a webpage? And you want the user to submit a form via GET/POST to a function in another PHP page? Can't be done directly, sorry.

In the PHP page just read the GET/POST form variables and call the function that way.
