We have had a PHP connector for 2 years that uses open source Java PHP bridge software. It took my Java program about 4 hours to add to our U2WebLink middleware.
Although I applaud Kevin King for his work around for getting web access, I cannot help worry about scaling. So, you finally get this great PHP to Unidata/Universe application working and your customer or boss wants more. You give him more and more until you break the model. This reminds me of one my clients where I dragged them kicking and screaming on the web about 9 years ago. They said they would only use a few features and would rely on green screen for the rest. Now, 30 clients rely on the web to glean all of the information on a daily basis and 20 clerks and managers produce 5,000 transactions per day and about 50,000 web hits a day. Good thing we thought about scaling.
