Re: Can PHP call iSeries programs remotely?

I'm curious why you think it wouldn't work. I won't be
   near an iSeries again until tomorrow, so can't play
around with it today. 

My understanding is that the classes in Toolbox for
Java can be used from Java programs on the PC. What
would keep a PHP script from running a Java program
with Toolbox classes in it? Why would a Java program
with Toolbox classes in it behave differently than the
Java program I tested with? I was able to call my Java
test program from an included PHP sript (hellojava.php
includes javalink1.php, and javalink1.php executes the
Java program).

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Kelly
