Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Fwd: My first attempt at using PHP/Java Bridge

Thank you Jost.

I believe the only java_values call that I have is necessary then.  I need
to get the result of the transformation back as a string so I can output it
(and possibly evaluate it for php code)  Unless there's some better way to
get a potentially large chunk of text back from java.
