PHP-Java Integration

Types of interoperation scenarios between Java and PHP are twofold.

• SAPI (Server Application Programming Interface) like Servlet PHP, CLI, etc. - PHP on Java (to integrate PHP into a Java Servlet environment)
• Java extension in PHP - Java in PHP (to integrate Java support into PHP)

The PHP configuration file (php.ini) is read when PHP starts up. For the server module versions of PHP, this happens only once when the web server is started. For the CGI and CLI version, it happens on every invocation.

Types of implementation are as follows:

• JNI
• Socket/named pipes - PHP/Java Bridge
  

A product available is:
