How to Bridge PHP and Java for Powerful Web Solutions
Here's how to team up two of the most popular and powerful platforms for web development together. With the php-java bridge you can build classes and jar files in Java and call them and use their methods in PHP. Use the quick and easy PHP language to bring Java muscle to your web pages.
In this tutorial I am using Windows 2000 Server, PHP 5.1.4 and php-java bridge 3.1.6. Windows is my operating system of choice but there is information on installing and using php-java bridge on Linux and Mac OS. You can find it under the resource link at the end of the article. I am going to assume that you have a bit of knowledge about both PHP and Java. You should know enough to get them installed and be able to do simple coding in both.
