How can PHP and JAVA be utilized to extract and store data from a website, such as product information and image paths, into a database for further use?

To extract and store data from a website using PHP and JAVA, you can create a script that uses PHP to scrape the website for product information and image paths, and then uses JAVA to insert this data into a database. The PHP script can use libraries like cURL or file_get_contents to retrieve the website's HTML content, and then parse it to extract the desired data. The extracted data can be passed to a JAVA program using exec() or system() functions in PHP, which can then connect to the database and store the information accordingly. 

<?php
// PHP code to scrape website and extract data
$html = file_get_contents('http://example.com/products');
// Parse HTML content to extract product information and image paths

// Pass extracted data to JAVA program
exec('java -jar DataInsertion.jar product_info image_paths');

// JAVA code in DataInsertion.jar to insert data into database
// Connect to database and insert product information and image paths
