PHP, Java Applet communication

Question

Here's what I would like to do.

I have a PHP file in my server where I would like to call java applet. The applet function will send a get request to read a page from third party server. Now I want page read from applet function to be sent to PHP script. To simply put ,i want the return value of the applet request function in a PHP variable. Is it possible to do?

I want to do this way because I already have the code to parse the page information in PHP, so I don't want to rewrite that in java again.

I wanted the Java applet because the request has to be sent using the client information like IP. So I don't want to use proxies.

Note: I am not trying to hack anyone's server. I am not a advanced programmer of either Java or PHP. Please reply me in a descriptive manner possibly with pseudo code.

PHP should be able to get that page more easily than can a Java applet. The applet would need to be trusted or in communication with a site that uses the 'cross-domain resources' file that explicitly allows hot-linking.

Searches on 'php proxie' seemed to spill out around 7.32 million hits. I'd start there.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted the java applet because the request has to be sent using the client information like IP. So I don't want to use proxies.

What is an URL where can we see a page from this 'third party server'?

Questions Over a year ago

i just mentioned it as third party server to intend a different server altogether. It may be pointed to .txt file of my own different server. So from my site 1 users login and upon authentication I get the data from my site 2.

Note that interacting with a secure server is a whole different thing to simply 'getting a web page' from a remote site.

Yeah I know that this isn't a secure way to do it. But to start with I thought of going with this method and like to know how this can be made possible.
