PHP, Java and Arrays

Anon

I've been trying to get PHP to retrieve a array of Strings from a Java method and it just doesn't want to work. The code below should work but it just gives me an array of 1 item not the 5 items it should.

<?php
$myj = new Java("testObject");
$temp[] = $myj -> getArray();
echo count($temp); //always 1
?>

----Java code---
public class testObject
{
public testObject(){}

 public String[] getArray()
 {
     String[]  temp = new String{"test1","test2","test3","test4","test5"};
     return temp;
 }

}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

thanks,

Sorry $temp = explode($myj->getArray()); doesn't work; but it did give the error that [] does not support Strings. I guess the java extension doesn't work with string arrays. Bummer.

Thanks for the help,

What is the value of $temp[0]? Can you var_dump it? (I'm not familiar (yet) with Java) but it would seem to me if temp = item1,item2item3 you could explode this into a php array... let me know what ends up working, I'd like to know.

$temp[0] is always empty. It looks like the java extension doesn't fully support the transfer of Java arrays to PHP. I don't know if the reverse is true.
