Hi,

sounds as if you haven't understood what PHP is and how it is used.

PHP is a web-server or shell extension. It allows you to define
procedures, to be called by the web-server, which can interact with
the underlying operating system.

PHP supports several web-server API's, see
http://php.net/manual/en/function.php-sapi-name.php . The most popular
SAPI are apache, cgi-fcgi, thttpd.

For running shell scripts directly on the operating system, PHP
supports a special SAPI: cli. For example a program /bin/shutdown
which looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
/sbin/shutdown -h now
?>

Can shutdown your operating system immediately.

JavaBridge.war is a Java Web-Server application. It needs the cgi-fcgi SAPI.
The SAPI is distributed with PHP.
