title: Run localhost Java Applet from PHP script on website
body: <p>Is it possible to run a Java Applet loaded onto a users machine using a PHP script on a website and send a couple of variables from the PHP to the Applet?</p>
  
  <p>This is a controlled environment that this is running in, so exploitation is not a concern.</p>
  
  <p>It (the PHP) gives the applet 3 pieces of data, the applet goes out to another site that cannot be interacted with using PHP, gets the information from that site and stores it in a database. The current hosting is not capable of running Java. </p>
