reading information from a java applet

Anon

I have a java applet in my code:

As you can see there are no <param > tags to it because there are no needed paramenters. It is a colorwheel applet that contains has all of the forms built into it.

I would like to know how I get a php page to read the in the information supplied by the applet. I have an idea on how to pass information to the php page in the applet but I have no idea of how to get the php page to read the information passed from the applet let alone access it.

Someone mentioned using hidden form tags but a java applet doesn't have hidden form tags.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Heather Donelson

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. PHP is a server-side language, so by the time the client receives and renders the HTML and starts up Java and fetches the class file, PHP is LONG out of the picture.

Having PHP pass information to an applet is trivial -- that's what the PARAM tag is for -- but to do it the other way would involve going backwards in time.

If what you want to do is pick a color and then move on to another page, then you should be able to do that by having Java pass a URL to the browser, with the color values suitably encoded in that URL.

I want php to read the selected color in from the applet.

The applet I am using is identicle to the one done by Brian Hall, at
http://www-students.biola.edu/~brian/csapplet.html

I really just want to know how to read in information from an applet in php.
Because the information that the java applet passes (colors in the form of variables) in will be used to write style sheets etc.

Thanks in advance for your help,
