What is the best way to send “messages” from PHP script to Java program in real time. PHP script and Java programs are both working at the same work station with OS Windows. Maybe some kind of client/server? The main feature is real time; that’s why I don’t want to use files.
PS: I’m going to send logger messages (php) and display (java) them at OS system tray tooltip.
PPS: I’m real noob in Java; it will be my first Java program. 🙂
Thank you.
You could use sockets (probably UDP, but depends on your needs). This way, if in the future you will need to put scripts and Java programs on different machines, you’ll be able to do that without modifing the code.
In addition, once you established a communication protocol between client and server, this solution is language independent. So it’s easy switch from PHP to another scripting language (the same for Java).
