Newbie question: Include external files

Thread view:

OK, first off I admit I don't have clue about JAVA. I am a newbie noknow :)

I want to launch an affiliate program, where publishers can include configurable feed from my site.

Generation of the code in PHP is done, so publishers could simply ad

<?php
include "http://mysite.com/ad.php?n=5&o=h&w=460&bgc=white&bc=lightgray&afid=4584& etc.etc...";
?>

to their code. Of course this only works for PHP publishers. ASP cannot handle external includes (so I am told), and I
would also hate to rule out HTML pages.

So, is there a (simple) way to solve this with JAVA? I would appreciate any help to point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Marsel

You can embed links in HTML, or Java Applets or Servlets. However,
bald PHP code itself is not going to be any use inside a Java
program.

To make it useful, you would need to create a C++ wrapper around your
code, and JNI glue so that you could use your PHP api from Java.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jni.html

That is fairly tricky. You need someone who understands PHP, C++,
Java and JNI.
