Anythings's possible *:), but we'll need a few more details. Does the
php
function get triggered automatically when the page is requested? In
other words:

<?php

function hiMum() {
	print("Hello Mum");
}	

hiMum();

?>

If this is the case, then you can just request the page through the java
applet. Web servers rarely care how a url was requested. Do you need to
pass variables to the function, or perhaps retrieve info returned from
the function?

If the function doesn't trigger when the page is requested, then we
could be getting into trickier territory. Are you able to edit the php
page?

As I said, if you can give us some more info then we should be able to
work out something.
