Question

I work in Linux. I have 3 file (about 2Gb each containing human genome sequence). I have java codes to process those files via web interface developed in PHP. The processing time is about 24 hours or even more.

How can i run the Java code from PHP so that the processing does not terminate when I close the browser.

Since the processing time is so long, it is not practicable to keep the browser open until the process get completed.

I assume it requires batch processing.

Answer 1

As far as I understand your question you want to call your java code from the PHP? correct? so here is the solution

<?php
    //use system call to execute java class or jar
    system('java yourclass', $retval);
?>

use the above php script. to execute your java code.
