Re: Can PHP call iSeries programs remotely?

You said a PHP include statement... I assumed you meant a
server side include directive.  Also, I thought you said it
was on another server (the app you wanted to call).  That
doesn't work with SSI.

In other words, if your app is:

www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/app1.php

You cannot use SSI to include a directive like:

<!-- #include virtual="http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/app"-->

PHP include, what does it exactly do?  Or what did you mean
by that?  That's the question.

I wasn't talking about JAva at all.  Just PHP calling a CGI
app on another server.
