Java - URLConnection for PHP $_GET Methods for MySQL

[Qybayvqje]

OK so what's the problem with this. I tried using MySQL JConnector for Java and people say not to because it can comprise your applet details so then I told them I'd use PHP $_GET method URLs using PHP scripts. They said it would be fine. However, I find two problems with that.1.) They are slow. It takes at least 4-5 seconds for the URLConnection to happen. Even when I point it to localhost.2.) It's a lot of code. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong?Here is what I have -- which works! \[code\]import java.awt.*;import java.awt.event.*;import javax.swing.*;import java.applet.Applet;import java.awt.TextArea.*;import java.util.*;import java.net.*;import java.applet.*;import java.io.BufferedReader;import java.io.InputStreamReader;import java.net.URL;import java.net.URLConnection;public class test extends JApplet{ public JTextArea c; public void init() { c = new JTextArea(); add(c); c.append("Let's change the level!"); try { URL game = new URL("http://localhost/mystikrpg/game.php?act=stats&username=Dan"); URLConnection connection = game.openConnection(); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream())); String inputLine; while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) { String command = inputLine; System.out.println(command); String[] temp = command.split("\\|"); c.append("\nYou're Lvl is: " + temp[1]); } in.close(); c.append("\nTrying to update level..."); String newLevel = "777"; URL newGame = new URL("http://localhost/mystikrpg/game.php?act=updateLvl&username=Dan&lvl=" + newLevel); URLConnection levelConnection = newGame.openConnection(); BufferedReader level_BR = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(levelConnection.getInputStream())); URL updateLevelURL = new URL("http://localhost/mystikrpg/game.php?act=stats&username=Dan"); URLConnection up_lvl_conn = updateLevelURL.openConnection(); BufferedReader up_lvl_br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(up_lvl_conn.getInputStream())); String getLvl; while ((getLvl = up_lvl_br.readLine()) != null) { String[] newLvl = getLvl.split("\\|"); c.append("\nYou're NEW Lvl is: " + newLvl[1]); // newLvl[1] == newLevel } c.append("\nLevel update done!"); level_BR.close(); up_lvl_br.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }}\[/code\]and here is the response:\[code\]Let's change the level!You're Lvl is: 123456Trying to update level...You're NEW Lvl is: 777Level update done!\[/code\]It works but it's slow and bulky - how do I fix this problem?
