PHP 4 and Java - closing in

A follow-up to my resent posting about troubles loading libphp_java.so in a resent CVS-checkout (PHP 4): The Apache error log lines PHP Fatal error: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/apache/libphp_java.so' - /usr/lib/apache/libphp_java.so: undefined symbol: JNI_CreateJavaVM in Unknown on line 0 and a hint from a guy in my nearest unix newsgroup about using "nm": nm -o --defined-only lib* | grep -i jni_create led me to /usr/local/jre/lib/i386/classic/libjvm.so - So changing my Apache init script line: ---from--- httpd ----to---- LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/jre/lib/i386/classic/libjvm.so httpd cured the problem. Now phpinfo() has several lines bragging about it's new Java facilities. I guess that a more permanent solution is needed in PHP (which I can't provide), but for now, I'm happy. My last assignment for tonight must be to find a useful application for this strange PHP+Java mix... :-) -- Greetings from Troels Arvin, Copenhagen, Denmark
