How to integrate R shiny into current application

r shiny

I am wondering if one can integrate R shiny into the current website (PHP or RoR). I just want to leverage the power of R Shiny to make an app embedded into the current website. But as far as I know Shiny needs to run on its own server instead of Apache. Is it possible for a seamless integration without using iframe?

Thanks

An alternative is to use an iframe (HTML), as is described here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/shiny-discuss/2VwEWXYJwYs

An example is shown here: http://stla.overblog.com/reactive-3d-surface

Hope this helps
