I'm in the process of analyzing a large chunk of data in matlab. The data is userdata which is freely available and which I want to use to make recommendations for users using my Internet service.

My question is: once I've written my algorithm in matlab what is the easiest/best way to integrate it into my php project /website?

Thanks in advance

  • @GWW is PHP suited for matrix operations with large data set? stackoverflow.com/questions/573674/… this link say otherwise, converting it to Python seems to be the accepted answer there. So maybe Python? Commented Mar 9, 2011 at 22:54

  • @GWW I don't want it to depend on matlab. Commented Mar 9, 2011 at 22:59
  • Of course I don't know why you don't want to depend on matlab but if license etc is the problem, maybe octave could be a good alternative for the server? Commented Mar 10, 2011 at 0:04

Well, it really depends on what you are using Matlab for. In many ways, doing the same matrix transforms in PHP or Python would be a pain. Hence you were using Matlab. You can however keep everything in Matlab form by using the Matlab Web Server.

Simply compile down to a binary that can be run on your server. See the examples supplied by Matworks.
