Im not a big java-head so im not sure how correct this approach is, but if you run "java imgtest" it will run the main method and get on with the job. In PHP you have to be more specific, if my .java was: package foo.bar; public class imgtest{ public static void main(String argv[]){ new imgtest(); } public String imgtest(){ // Generate and write an image to disk and return the image location. } } Then to generate my image via PHP i would have to explicitly call imgtest() and it doesnt appear i could call main(""); $mychart = new Java("foo.bar.imgtest"); $src = $mychart->imgtest(); echo "<img src='$src' border=0>"; Now the other piece of info i found is that whilst java and appletviewer are fine if i declared "public imgtest()", PHP requires you to have "public Void imgtest()" so it looks like you must explicitly declare a void (or Null) return type in Java to work with PHP. The other trick to watch out for is your classpath. A class may work from the command line and not in PHP because your classpath isnt sufficient to handle the import's used in your java .class So this can also be a problem which is hard to track do to the odd messages the PHP Java implimentation returns (im not sure if this is just Windows or every implimentation). Im not sure if any of this is relevant, but who knows ;) I would like to know a bit more about the servlet interface and why you would want to do this with PHP? Any info? Also i can jver.php but not jawt.php working, any luck? I also dont know what you mean by web.xml what file is this and what readme are you looking at? mn -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Okomba [mailto:Okomba@kabage.co.ke] Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 5:12 PM To: Nold, Mark Cc: 'php-windows@lists.php.net' Subject: RE: Problem installing java extension on NT4.0 Hi Mark. I am sorry for bothering you again. While I was excited to have one of the Java examples run under PHP, My excitements were shorlived as the example you had send didn't run. Also I am unable to run the servlet examples. I have changed the web.xml as advised in the README. However I keep getting errors whenever I try the servlet examples. I will greatly appreciate any assistance.
