PHP and Java Arrays

Anon

Hello

Are arrays in PHP and Java combatible? I mean if I have an array in php can I pass it to Java. Ok Here is what I mean

$a=array (3,2,3,4);
setType($a,"double");

$x = new Java("Myclass");
$b=$x->FindBigger($a);

Would this work providing that the method FindBigger take a double arquments

If Java("Myclass") is java code, this will not work.

Yes Chris. Myclass is Java class that finds the biggest number of an Array. How can I make a Java Array and pass it to the Java class from PHP

Thanks Chris

You cant use Java classes with PHP. If you want to find the largest number in the array $numbers then do:

$numbers = array_reverse(sort($numbers, SORT_NUMERIC));
$largest = $numbers[0];

Ok, I just saw that site you posted on the other thread, and I guess you can use Java classes with an addon...I stand corrected on that but I dont think it would be worth including that class if what you want can be done in 2 (really one) lines.

Chris,

You are right but I am talking about extensive math calculations. Something like symbolic algebra, matrix theory, and circuit design calculations, so I need a math library.

Ok, I now understand why you would want to include the java 🙂 but as far as the original syntax goes in your first post, that is correct. Its all up to how the java can interpret the arrays fed to the function inside the class. Maybee that site you posted a link to in the other thread might lead you to the answer.
