Java + PHP + Database

[eternityarena]

Hi,

I understand that java and php allow me to do database related stuff.

I am required to do the following but is unsure if PHP and Java can used together do it.

• Use java as a medium to process input from COM port determine URL
• Obtain URL from java to access webpage

Please advice if PHP allow me to use custom class to do this.

Thank you

Just to clarify, when you say "Java", do you in fact mean "Java", or do you really mean "JavaScript"? (I ask because it is not unusual to see some people using the names interchangeably.

In either case, if your Java[script] application is able to transmit HTTP requests, then certainly you can call a PHP script to do whatever you want it to do. (This is what is done in "AJAX" applications, using JavaScript on the client side of web pages to call server-side scripts.)

I am referring to using Java , J2SE, and not javascript.
I saw this website on having a PHP/Java bridge and is still in the process of find out how to use it. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a hint if I can use custom Java together with PHP. Thanks.

You might want to take a look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.java.php (I can't tell you anything more about it than what's there, as I've never tried using it.)
