Re: PHP talk to a running Java program on a Linuxplatform..?

I couldn't find anything in the manual but if you look in the source in 'ext/java/README' it says: What is PHP4 ext/java? PHP4 ext/java provides a simple and effective means for creating and invoking methods on Java objects from PHP. The JVM is created using JNI, and everthing runs in-process. -D Rob Curts wrote: > > on 7/18/00 2:03 PM, Darrell Brogdon at dbrogdon@sourceforge.net wrote: > > > I've never used PHP with Java but from what I understand about it you > > can access Java methods from PHP.
