Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] OSX support

[<php...@li...>]

Hi Jost,

(sorry for the delay in this response - I sent this originally on the  
1/12 using the wrong email address)

In the environment I am using (and many other Mac OSX and Mac OSX  
Server users), the PHP module is an Apache SO and the PHP command  
line interface is actually a .bin executable and not a fast CGI.  I  
utilize a variety of CRON jobs and such that call the PHP command- 
line executable directly for non-interactive PHP scripts.  Since I  
don't use the php-cgi I am not sure adding one to the bridge package  
will help me or maybe other Mac OSX Server users.

In the version I am currently running, 3.2.1, I compiled the java  
bridge from your source files to run as an extension to PHP in Apache  
1.3.x and also to run from the command line PHP executable.

I am not sure if you have changed the overall structure of the bridge  
to no longer support this way of doing things or the original stand- 
alone pure PHP implementation of the bridge you used to have as well.

If there is still a pure PHP version of the bridge, maybe that is the  
way I should go.  Otherwise, I am not sure the best way to upgrade to  
the new bridge from version 3.2.1 (which is working great).

Jon
