I wanna use php4 with jakarta-tomcat because I have to use jsp or servlet too... Can I use them together... mail to me or answer this question please... thank a lot

I've had them both running at the same time with no problems. However I needed to make PHP run as a servlet and was never able to get that to happen.

But if you just want PHP pages and JSP pages, and they are separate then you shouldn't have any problem.

An alternative to jakarta if you use a Win95/98/ME/NT/2000 system is the absolutely free JRun Developer's Edition found at www.allaire.com

Rob,

What kinds of problems did you have trying to run PHP as a servlet?

Bas,

Are you running Tomcat as your HTTP server or are you using it as a plugin
into a separate HTTP server such as Apache or IIS? If so, where do you want
your PHP processor to run (i.e. on the HTTP server or Java server)? If you want it to run under Tomcat then you'd probably want to use the PHP servlet
SAPI which will also allow you to reference Java objects from your PHP scripts
as well as taking advantage of the JVM and thread pooling that Tomcat gives
you.

If you are using a separate HTTP server and you want PHP to run there then
there are various other SAPI's you can use (e.g. Apache, ISAPI).

Last but not least, you can always run it as a CGI (especially if you use
Tomcat as your HTTP server and you can't get PHP Servlet to work) but
then you're getting the worst of all solutions.

Your JSPs and servlets should run on Tomcat regardless.

I have also Had a problem too runing php as a servlet with Tomcat3.2. I have set the enviornment like the readme file talks about but every time I try to run one of the php scripts it gives me the error

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet"

Is this the same error that you see?

Rob,

What you're missing is the JSDK (Java Servlet Development Kit) in your
CLASSPATH. To correct this with Tomcat you can add the $TOMCAT_HOME/lib/servlet.jar to your CLASSPATH (where TOMCAT_HOME is the directory in which tomcat is installed). This is, of course, in addition to having phpsrvlt.jar in your CLASSPATH which contains the php extension to the above.

If you have another servlet distribution or the Sun JSDK then the CLASSPATH entry will have to be modified accordingly.

You are correct that this is not covered correctly in the sapi/servlet/README.
