as of PHP/Java Bridge version 3, php4 and below is no
longer supported, although php4 still works as good
(or as bad) as in previous releases.

The new documentation and the new 3.x features are
written and tested against php versions 5.x or 6.x.

Well, that's how the Sam's ext/java extension used to
work. The bridge checks if it runs in zend engine 1 or
zend engine 2 and sets the protocol options
accordingly. Based on the received protocol header the
backend selects the appropriate writer, either Sam
Ruby's coerce/select or the new code.

I think there's no reason to upgrade to php/java
bridge version3 if you want to use it with php4.

However, the new code allows us to reduce the number
of round-trips and to make the implementation more
than 3 times faster in future versions. But this can
work in php5 and above only.
