Need Dual PHP - Java Servlet Problem Solution

[Phil Powell]

I have a PHP script that will be doing an @fopen file open command to
a Java servlet, sending content via a query string.

Problem is that it appears the Java servlet does not receive anything
via its doGet() method and does no action.

Has anyone here successfully ever sent anything via PHP to a Java
servlet? Tell me what you are supposed to do, I thought it was this
simple:

[PHP]
$fileID = @fopen("$SERVLET_SELF/ppowell.ChatServlet?message=" .
urlencode($message) . '&nickname=' . urlencode($_COOKIE['val_chat']),
'r');
[/PHP]

I checked using both echo and print_r() to verify that $message and
$nickname are both populated. I perform this very similar action in
another PHP script and the servlet receives with no problem.

I could use some help from someone well versed in both PHP and Java
Servlets.

Thanx
Phil

Hi Phil,

If you're going to be integrating Java Servlets with PHP on a regular basis
or for a production application, consider using the PHP Java Servlet API:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.java.php#java.servlet

Cheers,
Robert

Thanx, I will look into that, however, I am unclear as to its current
stability since according to the PHP manual on www.php.net it is still
labeled "experimental".

What is stored in your $SERVLET_SELF variable?
In this case, fopen will work if $SERVLET_SELF contains a full HTTP-path to
your servlet., e.g. http://domain.com/ppowell.ChatServlet? ......
