#40677 [Sus->WFx]: PHP crash when calling Java

ID: 40677 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: poon dot fung at comcast dot net -Status: Suspended +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Java related Operating System: windows xp PHP Version: 5.2.1 Assigned To: edink Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-06 16:03:45] peter_jones_jr at yahoo dot com Hi, the documentation which comes with PHP clearly states that ext/java only works with some older versions of PHP4. I don't think ext/java is mentioned in the PHP manual page, at least not on debian. Calling Java classes in-process is not possible unless you use a PHP implementation written in pure Java. For the Zend PHP engine you need an external Java process. I think this is what you mean with "Java application server". Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-05 17:26:38] poon dot fung at comcast dot net I read in some discussions that PHP-Java Bridge is a replacement to PHP Java integration method. However, PHP-Java Bridge documentation shows only methods of calling from PHP to Java application server but not calling Java classes in-process. I would like to be able to call Java libraries from PHP. If PHP Java integration were to be discontinued, manual page should be updated. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why the integration did not work because there is no indication that it may not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-05 16:00:22] edink@php.net Short of deleting it from the CVS it is not possible atm. Java extension is not maintained and probably does not work on any platform. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-05 09:49:56] tony2001@php.net Edin, I'd prefer the former. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-02 21:16:38] valid at email dot address This crash happens when you add the following to your php.ini extension=php_java.dll The php_java.dll from http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_java.dll and the php_java.dll which is part of the official pecl for windows download crash the php executable. Either remove the php_java.dll from the official pecl4win download or or fix this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
