PHP for U2 databases

After see a crude but amazingly effective demo of PHP for the Web, I was convinced we needed to have an easier way to access U2 from the environment. Well, after searching for many hours on the web I found PHP Java-Bridge.

This open source software allows you to access any Java code without a lot of hassle. Within a few hours U2logic's Java programmer had a fully working interface. Installation is a bit more complicated because of our use of Apache's Tomcat but that is really nothing in the big scheme of things.

Our U2WebLink(tm) product has another way of accessing the U2 databases using PHP instead of HTML/JavaScript. This means that Python can use this system as well. More back for the buck, you can not really beat that.

I hope those of you reading this blog will try it out and give us some feedback.
