    <p>I've been trying to build a simple prototype application in Django, and am reaching the point of giving up, sadly, as it's just too complicated (I know it would be worth it in the long-run, but I really just don't have enough time available -- I need something up and running in a few days). So, I'm now thinking of going with PHP instead, as it's the method for creating dynamic web content I'm most familiar with, and I know I can get something working quickly.</p> <p>My application, while simple, is probably going to be doing some reasonably complex AI stuff, and it may be that libraries don't exist for what I need in PHP. So I'm wondering how easy / possible it is for a PHP script to "call" a Java program or Python script or a program or script in another language. It's not entirely clear to me what exactly I mean by "call" in this context, but I guess I probably mean that ideally I'd like to define a function in, let's say Java, and then be able to call it from PHP. If that's not possible, then I guess my best bet (assuming I do go with PHP) will be to pass control directly to the external program explicitly through a POST or GET to a CGI program or similar.</p> <p>Feel free to convince me I should stick with Django, although I'm really at the point where I just can't figure out what model I need to produce the HTML form I want, which seems such a basic thing that I fear for my chances of doing anything more complex...</p> <p>Alternatively, anyone who can offer any advice on linking PHP and other languages, that'll be grateful received.</p>

    1. COLet me understand this. You're under time pressure to get a prototype up in a few days, and you've elected to learn new technology to do it? Is that correct?

    2. COYep. Not a good idea, I guess. But I've done it successfully before with PHP and with Ruby, and this time Python looked like the right way to go. Maybe I like living on the edge, or maybe I'm just not very smart! :-)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
