Java applet send information to a php page

Question

I was wondering if it was possible to send information from a java applet to a PHP page (and in the long run, a mysql database) on the click of a button (within the java applet).
Of course, if it's easier to just incorporate the jar file instead of an applet, that's also a possibility, but I just don't know how to do that...
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do that. You'll need to grant the Applet permissions to access the network though. Here's an example.
