Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] Questions pack // Windows

[Jost B. <jos...@ya...>]

Hi,

> 1. BUG. There is no PHP4 version of library in

The PHP/Java Bridge does not work on threaded HTTP
servers, e.g. IIS, unless ZTS is switched on. 
ZTS is experimental in all versions below PHP 5 and I
know of at least 3 incompatible ABI's since 4.3.2.

So the question is: which version of PHP4 on windows
should we support? Isn't it possible to compile your
own php4 binary as described in the README?

Yes, certainly. But is 3MB really too large these
days?


> 3. Patch to make test run even if unzipped not in
> c:/php5

Isn't it possible to adjust the php.ini accordingly?
One has to do this during the installation process
anyway. But the widgetTest.bat could be changed, of
course.

If you start it at log level 3 or above, as described
in the README, it will output to stdout or to a log
file.

"apachectl start" starts the apache server and the
bridge and "apachectl stop" stops both, please see the
README for details.  Since version 2.0.8 this works on
windows, too.

However, the recommended way to run the backend is to
start it via the php-java-bridge.service script (on
Unix) or via tomcat (on windows).

 
> 6. It would be good to have a ToC in readme.

Yes.


> Q1. Is it possible to extend Java class with PHP?
> I.e. make PHP class, inherited from one of Java?

The java_closure() call currently accepts only
interfaces, not classes. It would be nice if the Sun's
dynamic proxy would accept a class, but it doesn't. If
we want this, we must write our own proxy compiler.

Please see
