I've recently set up some Tomcat/Java/Servlet stuff that provides some high-level functions I wish to make available from PHP.

Clear? I quickly found the PHP HTTP library ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.http.php ), but my quick perusal makes me think this is only useful for controlling the HTTP response sent back to the browser making the original PHP request.
