routine access from server-side interpretive languages?

[Christopher Gray]

Hello all:

New to Octave and the group, I've been searching for math packages I can use from within server-side, nutrition-simulating, software I am designing.

I would use it as middleware (between MySQL database and database queries) when an analysis by routines inside the software or displayable simulation is required by/to the user.

I saw mention of compilable language (C++, Fortran) access to Octave routines. I didn't find -- in a first-glance search by myself -- of documentation sections on that use.

Does anyone know of whereabouts (if any) within the vast documentation that discusses routine calling from outside the general Octave invocation, esp. access via interpretive languages (PHP, Tcl, AJAX/_javascript_, Python/Jython)?

Thanks,
Chris
