OK...I inherited a Java based app that I assume is coded completely in
Java (isn't that what jsp files are?). I needed to make an addition to
it, so rather than learning Java (since I'm trying to phase away from
it) I am wanting to make additions in php (as I know php, this was the
best thought to me). I realize this isn't a Java forum, but am hoping that someone, somewhere, knows the answer to this one. If you can't help, just let me know.
Here's my problem. The Java app (at least all the jsp files) are in the
tomcat directory, so that Java/tomcat interprets them. Unfortunately,
any php code that is dropped into the tomcat file is ignored by the php
parser and spit out as html code. As Html doesn't know php from a hole
in the ground, I get some neato errors.
So...what do I need to change (and where please) so that a) php is
parsed within the tomcat directory; b) I can make a call to a php
script outside the tomcat directory or c) copy, rename, and open the
renamed copy using Java (if this is my only option...)
for PHP in the jsp files I've been trying one of the following (with no
success)
<script language="php">blah blah blah</script>
and
<?php blah blah blah ?>
Thoughts?
