Bridge between PHP site and Java applet

Question

I want to know if it's possible to have an applet communicate with a PHP site and retrieve some information. If so, what approaches can be used?

Your applet could do some URLConnections or HTTPConnections and get the raw text returned by the PHP url.

String myUrl = "http://mysite.com/service.php?param1=yay";

Then use the example How do you Programmatically Download a Webpage in Java to get the text.

Read the PHP page in JAVA Applet, and use JSON/XML format to send data from PHP to Java applet. JSON or XML would make it easier for you to handle the data.

Even if you are going to use the HTTP for sending and receiving data, then you can't make it pretty sure, because user has always access to it.
