[ome-users] Connecting to the image server through PHP.

Hi Kasthuri,

Can anyone help me by letting me know how one can connect to the OME Image

If your PHP code is being served from the same machine as the OME
installation, you might be able to get away with a PHP-Perl communication
layer of some kind (e.g., http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/1712).

Otherwise, the OME server remoting infrastructure uses XML-RPC to
communicate. You could use an XML-RPC library for PHP -- googling for "php
xml-rpc" I immediately found http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/ as well as
http://us3.php.net/xmlrpc, which indicates that perhaps newer versions of
PHP have some built-in XML-RPC capability.

There is a client layer called OME-Java that demonstrates this connectivity
for Java, but unfortunately no one to my knowledge has coded such a thing in
PHP.

There has also been some discussion on the ome-devel mailing list about
XML-RPC (

).
