Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] tomcat - using php4

Hi,

[please excuse the delay]

I am sorry, but I could not reproduce this problem
with php 4.

I have installed the latest tomcat version
(http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.20/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.20.exe)
and downloaded and copied the current PHP/Java Bridge
("JavaBridge.war") into 

C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps

downloaded and extracted the current PHP4 version to
c:\php and changed

C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\JavaBridge\WEB-INF\web.xml 

to

       <init-param>
        <param-name>php_exec</param-name>
         <param-value>C:\php\php.exe</param-value>
       </init-param>


After that I was able to run PHP4 applications within
tomcat.

The only problem I see is that the documentation shows
forward slashes, which is something that doesn't work
on windows. But this is a minor problem, imho.

You don't need a php_java.dll to run php from java. 

The PECL extension is only necessary for PHP4 and only
if you want to embed java statements into your PHP
pages.

That's okay, see above. You probably use an old
version of the PECL extension.

Yes, the pure PHP implementation currently only works
with php 5.1.4 or above. If you want to embed java
statements into your php pages, you must install the
PECL extension from sourceforge.

The PECL extension is packaged within the
JavaBridge.war.


> tried copying php_java.dll and php_java.jar 

These versions are 4 years old and don't work anymore.
Don't use them. Please use the most recent versions of
the PHP/Java Bridge and the PECL extension.
