Here's a solution I've whipped together; the EngineFactory now accepts two more arguments, a protocol and a port number. If the HTTP server document root contains a copy of the web application, you can now invoke PHP libraries deployed into Apache of IIS using the JSR 223 API:


  <%!
  /* Create a PHP script with a function f() */
  private static java.io.File script;
  private static java.io.File getScript(String path) {
    if(script!=null) return script;
    return script=EngineFactory.getPhpScript(path, new StringReader(
       "<?php function f($arg) {return 1 + (int)(string)$arg); }; ?>"));
  }
  %>
  <%
  /* Create a standard script engine and invoke function f on http port 80 */
  ScriptEngine e = EngineFactory.getInvocablePhpScriptEngine (this, 
                              application, request, response, "http", 80);
  File script = getScript(application.getRealPath(request.getServletPath()));
  FileReader reader = EngineFactory.createPhpScriptFileReader(script);
  e.eval (reader); reader.close();
  Object result=((Invocable)i).invokeFunction("f",new Object[]{new Integer(2)});
  e.eval ((Reader)null); // flush the output generated by invokeXXX
  out.println("result from php::f(), printed from the servlet: " + result);
  %>

Hi,

please re-read the README section "Java platform issues" for details. 

It is nearly impossible to fix these problems on app level, so your only option is to re-install your J2EE server again. -- You could try to clean the work/Catalina and temp directories and check if that helps.

Hi Rinaldo,

as long as the bridge doesn't need to parse the headers, the php cli component will work, too:

  jrunscript -Dphp.java.bridge.php_exec=/usr/bin/php -classpath JavaBridge.jar php-interactive

The php and php-invocable engines will not work with the php cli, of cause.

I think you will need to compile PHP yourself, please see the INSTALL document for details.


I think the best option is to start Apache, capture a PHP process from Apache and call into a continuation of that process.

Hello,

    I just recently started to use php java bridge with Glassfish.
I am very happy with it. Thanks for all the work.  I do have a
few questions not directly related.

1) We are having some issues finding php-cgi for MAC OS 10. We
would like to help and see if we can include a version in the distribution
 that supports Macs directly.  The latest install of php on the
Mac does not include php-cgi. My understanding is that when
Mac went from php 4 to php 5, php != php-cgi. Does anyone
have a solution to this issue? How do I get php-cgi for Mac? I don't
have this issue on my Linux and OpenSolaris servers. I am starting
to look beyond Apple's default install.

2) We would like to use a local installed copy of php in some cases.
How do you override the default location. I would like to use php-cgi
in /opt? Why? OpenSolaris supports zones and some zones are sparse,
that means that /usr/ is shared and cannot be written to. Is this already
supported and I am simply not following directions?


3) It is a real pleasure to use NetBeans/Php-java-Bridge/Glassfish, I
can trivially deploy to lots of machines with no hassle, compared to
the Apache/httpd model. I would like to contribute ready to go
NetBeans projects that include php-java-bridge, pretty simple but
maybe it is of value, any interest.
