How to include Java support in PHP

[mj_23]

I'm relatively new to php. First of all, what does java support in php offer? I also need to know the FULL installation steps for including java support in php. Any ideas?

it lets you use java classes in your php scripts. there's a great how to on this site for getting it all installed and up. you'll need a webserver, php, and a jdk. good luck 🙂

Can you point me to the address please? This site is very massive... I tried searching before but the results are just too far away from what i wanted

how can I include support for java in php using linux as the OS? I need the php-java rpm, is there such a rpm? I do not wish to compile php manually.

i don't know that there's a rpm for php-java (there's a windows prebuild binary). i have only gotten java to work on win NT, not linux yet. i have gotten php under linux to work, by downloading the source and building it as an apache module. you have to specify special commands on the ./configure line. it was fairly easy after that.

Dear all,

I want to include java in PHP on Linux. I have set the PATH, CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but can't run. The error is here:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: java in /home/www/system.php on line 9

The php is just call java.lang.System. but not work. Who can help me??

Can send me the config step on Linux?? Such as jdk1.2.2, apache, php4.0.6.

Thanks

Steven,

IMHO, Java under PHP is just plain wrong. It does work, but performance wise it's not very reasonable. From what I recall, The PHP scripts will create a separate JVM for each script that runs and needs a java class. I heard they were doing something to be able to chache the JVM's and all, but you're trying to put a square into a round hole. If you've got a medium volume site with a few java classes, the memory usage of those JVM's alone is going to be HORRIBLE. You're MUCH better off using Jakarta if you've got to use java classes from your web pages.

I have the same problem as Steven there. Does anyone have a way to solve the problem?
