Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Need Help for Linux: Connecting Php and MySQL using Php-Java Bridge

Hi,

why don't you simply require a functional PHP environment? The bridge can be configured to use the system PHP installation instead of the local PHP binary within WEB-INF/cgi/.

I don't think this will work. The php mysql.so (php_mysql.dll) have been compiled against a specific PHP version and a specific mysql version:

[jostb@carlos ~]$ locate mysql.so
/usr/lib/php/modules/mysql.so
/usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so
[jostb@carlos ~]$ ldd /usr/lib/php/modules/mysql.so
/usr/lib/php/modules/mysql.so:
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00110000)
	libmysqlclient.so.15 => /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15 (0x0011d000)

The php_mysql driver depends on the version # of the mysql client library (version 15) in this case. A different client library might cause a crash.

I don't think it makes sense to ship a complete mysql installation with each PHP application. However, there are several open-source pure Java-based relational databases which can be easily packaged with your PHP/Java web application.
