I’m writing a watchdog-style program in Java – that is, it will be running constantly.
I want to be able to somehow send input and receive a response using PHP.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks!
EDIT: Just to clarify, the Java and PHP are running on the same machine.
A really simple solution,not as simple as the “file solution” by Itay), but more light-weight than HTTP or XML-RPC would be using a plain socket-based solution, as simple as illustrated here.
That would fit nicely for your “String back and forth” protocol.
