[SOLVED] Union to Interact with PHP?

[jream]

Hi,

I downloaded the orbiter and union server.
I have been playing with some examples.

1: A user logs onto a page with a session having a userid
2: I want to pass in that userid to the Union Server
3: Once passed in, I'd like to make calls to run PHP files from The JS Orbit Client (Rather than AJAX calls)
4: Im having a bit of a hard time figuring out how to get Union to Interact with PHP.

Do you have any advice or examples?

I think the only way to get PHP to interact with Union right now is to create your own mini-custom client in PHP which will handle messages at the UPC level. You would probably have to use PHP cURL to send and receive HTTP requests for this. Creating a custom client is documented under 'Client Frameworks'. You could also vote for PHP as the next custom client in this forum!
Edit - it is possible with PHP by the way - I got it to work ok for a couple of calls.
