Is this possible?

Hi all, i've got a problem with using PHP with applets. I've succesfully managed to retrieve data from my database and pass this to the applet. The problem is retrieving the resulting data from the applet and then passing this to the server to update the database. Has anyone ever come across this problem before, or seen any information anywhere.

Any help would be wicked

have the applet call a PHP script passing the information either via SESSION or GET, not much more to it then that

cheers man, any chance of showing me how its done or point me in the right direction - its just i've looked allover the web and spent ages trying different ways but can't find any code to pull it off

I wont search for you, and this is as close to a handout as I come tonight

search...(on phpbuilder obviously) and you will find MANY examples, the reason this is a small result is because its keyed to threads that I replied to... obviously others before me have helped with these kinda questions too

I'm not sure if were talking about the same thing here. What I need to do is retrieve data from an applet (potentially a lot of it) then pass this data from the applet to a php script to update a database. I've managed to get data from the applet into some JavaScript just by calling methods in the applet, which return values to the JavaScript. As I said there could be a lot of this data so i need to pass an array from the client side JavaScript to the server side PHP Script for processing. Maybe i'm just being thick - i'm pretty new to all this, but it doesn't seem straightforward. I've already searched half the www and many books but can't find a solution. Any ideas?

Hi Nedwin,

If a HTML page wanted to send variables to a PHP page called test.php say, then you would use a form submit or even just a <a> link.

For example, ...

<a href="test.php?name=fred">test</a>

... would make the variable $_GET['fred'] accessible in test.php.

So, what you want is a Java issue, namely: how to send a HTTP request from a java application?

I have no idea how Java would handle that but I'm sure it'll be elementary.

Hope that helps.

Paul🙂
