Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] tomcat - using php4

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

On the forward slashes, turns out you might have been on to something
there.

Chgd web.xml to use back slashes and got some different results

When set to:
<init-param>
 <param-name>php_exec</param-name>
 
<param-value>C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\JavaBridge\WEB-INF\cgi\php-cgi-x86
-windows.exe</param-value>
</init-param>

I get a phpinfo page with "PHP Version 5.1.3-dev" in the header, and 21
instances of 'php-cgi-x86-windows' (no .exe or .dll extension listed..)
running in in my task manager window.  If I shut TC down then they
terminate correctly as well.  This is progress

Now I'm fishing around abit to see if I can stumble across a solution, I
try 'php-4-java-x86-windows.dll' in place of php-cgi-x86-windows.exe in
the web.xml param-name value.  Restart TC and get:

javax.servlet.ServletException: An IO exception occured. Probably php
was not installed as "/usr/bin/php-cgi" or "c:/php/php-cgi.exe"
 or
"C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\JavaBridge\WEB-INF\cgi\php-cgi-x86-windows[.sh
]|[.exe]".
Please see "php_exec" in your WEB-INF/web.xml and WEB-INF/cgi/README for
details.
	php.java.servlet.PhpCGIServlet.doGet(PhpCGIServlet.java:546)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)

Makes sense, it seems to need an executable of some sort.

The only other .exe file that I have in the cgi dir is the launcher.exe
file that I copied in from the IBM link you provided.  Changing web.xml
to use that results in the test.php page hanging with out reloading and
52 instances of php.exe running and visible in the task manager window.
Stopping TC does not terminate the 52 instances of php.exe

So I try c:\php\php.exe in web.xml and get "Fatal: The loaded java
extension is not the PHP/Java Bridge" with 20 instances of php.exe
running.  Stopping TC terminates the php.exe instances correctly

Copy php.exe from c:\php to the cgi subdir and repath the web.xml file
and I get:
PHP 4.4.2 too old.
For PHP versions < 5.1.4 install the PECL extension, see INSTALL
document from http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/INSTALL.
Or set the path to the PHP executable, see php_exec in the
WEB-INF/web.xml

Hmm, running php.exe from 4.4.4

Try the url in the error msg above and search it for PECL without luck,
tried copying php_java.dll and php_java.jar into the cgi subdir
alongside php.exe, but the only way to get something that is close to
working is to set the param-name value to php-cgi-x86-windows.exe, but
it reports 5.1.3

Hope this helps
