zend php bridge hangs

[rajM]

here's what i am trying to achieve

i have a geo-location program (written in java) telling me the country i am in based on IP address.

here's how am i doing it

i am using the zend php bridge to connect to a java app and that in turns makes a URL connection to a Java Servlet which wraps geo-location api and sends response back to java application and that sends it to PHP via the bridge.

problem i am facing.

the bridge hangs sporadically, when i detach the java app and servlet from the bridge it works fine, it only hangs when the java app returns value to the servlet that it hangs.

PHP (front-end) <--PHP-BRIDGE--> Java App <----> Java Servlet (Embeds Geo-location API)

thanks in advance.

hi. i'm not adept in java but i can offer you an alternative. you can try creating that same functionality in php.
check ip-to-country
and an example code (using a database) to work with, though u can create a very simple one yourself just using the flat-file.
