Re: Calling PHP from Java usign CGI...

Catalin I am also quite new to all this. I'll tell you a bit more about what I am trying to accomplish here. I am working on some project which has a a lot of code written in PHP and is going to need also a lot of code in JAVA. So, I was thinking that it would be great if we could have PHP connected to our servlet container and web server, which is Jetty. I looked in the mailing lists for info about this, and I found a servlet which connects (or at least tries) to PHP using CGI (Common Gateway Interface). The HttpURLConnection is algo a good idea. Still, it would be a lot better if I could just connect PHP to Jetty the same way PHP connects to Apache using CGI. Any idea on how to accomplish this? Thanx...
