I want to access a MySQL database from Java, but remote connection is disabled by the host.
So I will send the data to PHP and then PHP will locally access the database.
The data is pretty big (about 2~4kb)
I’ve never done this before.
What should I do?
Probably the best way would be to write a web service in PHP that you call from Java.
Another somewhat easier way would be to use the HttpURLConnection class to simply do a POST of the data to the PHP page.
If the PHP page is publicly accessible, you’d want to make sure you have some kind of authentication mechanism in place and use HTTPS as well.
