Hi

i'm having a little problem of understanding some differences between
Java and PHP.
Well, PHP runs on the server. so, if my script saves some data from a
database to 'c:\temp', it saves the data to the local disc of the
server itself. correct? but java runs on the client-side. this means
the my applet trying to save data from a database to 'c:\temp' saves
the data to the local disc of the client... am i right?

so, is it possible to either save data to the clients disc using a
php-script or save data to the servers local disc using a
java-applet??

any ideas?
