如何使用Java Applet调用PHP脚本

Question

I want to access user's scanner using PHP script. I know this can be done by using PHP script on Linux based machine.

I want to put this script on the server and wanted to run it via Java Applet I don't know Java much also I am not sure if this task can be done by this way.

Please suggest if this is correct way and How to proceed on it.

Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

Can the scanner PHP code be operated purely via parameters in the URL? If so, then a Java applet could connect to those URLs passing parameters as necessary, and if the PHP script returns information in the HTML output stream (as if it were returning a web page), then the applet can parse the page it 'downloads' from that URL to get the information out. Not elegant, but do-able.
