java/php


A PHP front end is contained in, or associated with, a Java back end. The invoked front end use XML/HTTP to invoke Java procedures/methods of the running back end. Both, the front end and the back end establish a continuation which may be called at any time from the other continuation. For example procedures of the current PHP environment or of any PHP object called by java as long as the connection is established.
The mechanism can also be used programmatically: the JSR 223 interface can be used to invoke PHP methods within a running PHP server (Apache/IIS, FastCGI, ...) so that Java components can invoke PHP instances and PHP scripts can call Java (e.g. Java, KAWA, JRuby) based applications or transfer the  control to the environment where the request came from.
PHP/Java Bridge Web Application
 is distributed as a standard JEE web application, JavaBridge.war. It can be deployed to any standard Java servlet engine or Java application server. It is a distributable ZIP archive, containing example PHP scripts, the JavaBridge.jar Java library, and a MIT-licensed PHP Java class which may be included by PHP scripts.
A PHP java class is available from the web application's java/ folder, so that PHP scripts can fetch  it is established   the connection using a familiar PHP syntax.
The PHP/Java Bridge web application contains the libraries php-servlet.jar and php-script.jar.php-servlet.jar contains two servlets. The first servlet, PhpJavaServlet, handles requests from remote PHP scripts running in Apache/IIS or from the command line. The second servlet,PhpCGIServlet, handles requests from internet clients directly.
The other library, php-script.jar, can be used to access the described functionality programmatically using the standard Java 1.6 JSR 223 API.
PhpJavaServlet
The PhpJavaServlet handles requests from PHP clients.
Apache/IIS/console::PHP <--> PhpJavaServlet
It listens for PHP/Java Bridge protocol requests and invokes Java methods or procedures. The following example accesses a local back end:
<?php
require_once("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");
$System = java("java.lang.System");
echo $System->getProperties();
?>
Another example which uses define to direct the PHP front end to a specific HTTPS back end:
<?php
define ("JAVA_HOSTS", "ssl://mySecureHost.com:8443");
define ("JAVA_SERVLET", "/JavaBridge/servlet.phpjavabridge");
require_once("Java.inc");
$System = java("java.lang.System");
echo $System->getProperties();
?>
This setup requires a PHP-enabled HTTP server, such as Apache or IIS, or a console PHP executable as the front-end.
PhpCGIServlet
The PhpCGIServlet runs PHP scripts within the J2EE/Servlet engine.
internet browser <--> PhpCGIServlet <--> php-cgi <--> PhpJavaServlet
It starts a PHP FastCGI server, if possible and necessary. Requests for PHP scripts are delegated to the FastCGI server. If the PHP code contains Java calls, the PHP/Java Bridge protocol requests are delegated back to the current VM, to an instance of the PhpJavaServlet.
This setup requires a php-cgi (Fast-)CGI executable in the PATH.
Standalone
A simple HTTP server is built into the JavaBridge.jar library. It may be started (if necessary) by double-clicking on JavaBridge.jar or with the command: java -jar JavaBridge.jar.
Although the standalone HTTP server can be used as a replacement for a JEE application server (Java.inc can be fetched via require("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc") as usual) it doesn't support HTTP/1.1, persistent connections, a connection pool or other standard Java EE features. Its use as a replacement for a Java EE application server is therefore not recommended in production environments.
JSR 223 script runner
Java JDK 1.6 and above contain a JSR 223 command line script interpreter called jrunscript.
The following examples use the Java 1.6 command line script interpreter:
jrunscript -classpath JavaBridge.jar -l php-interactive
> $vec = new java("java.util.Vector"); echo $vec
[]
> $vec->add(1); $vec->add("hello"); echo $vec
[1, hello]
> $buf = new java("java.lang.StringBuffer");
> for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++) $buf->append($i);
> echo $buf->length();
488890
Especially interesting is the for loop, its statements are sent to the Java continuation immediately, w/o generating any round-trips. This is why the bridge executes a PHP/Java mix almost as fast as a native script engine (see the benckmark results from the FAQ for details).
The next example demonstrates how to capture an environment and pass it on to a continuation. This is useful for PHP classes which should implement Java interfaces:
<?php
$vec = new java("java.util.Vector");
function toString() {global $vec; return "ccl::".$vec[0];}
$vec->add(9); $vec->add(java_closure());
echo $vec;
?>
jrunscript -classpath JavaBridge.jar -l php test.php
=>[9, ccl::9]
The above code captures the current PHP environment and passes it on to the Java continuation. When the Java vector is evaluated, it invokes the toString() method of the Java object, which in turn accesses the captured environment. It is programmed so that it returns the first element of the global vector $vec.
PHP/Java integration
The Java.inc PHP library sets up an autoload handler to import Java into PHP's environment. The following example autoloads the standard Java classes from Java and makes them available to PHP.
<?php
require_once("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");
use java\lang\String as JString;
use java\util\ArrayList as JList;
class String extends JString {
  function toString () {
    return "hello " . parent::toString();
  }
}
$str = new String("Java");
$list = new JList();
$list->add (java_closure($str));
$list->add ("from PHP");
$ar = java_values ($list->toArray());
foreach($ar as $entry) echo "$entry<br>\n"
?>
=>hello Java
from PHP
It makes use of the syntax transformer built into PHP 5.3 and above to import and extend the functionality of Java classes. In the above example java.lang.String is extended by a PHP class, overriding the functionality of its toString() method. An instance of this class is then passed to ajava.lang.ArrayList. The entire list is then converted into a PHP array using java_values.

This Javascript tutorial is for people with little or no experience with programming. It covers these topics: The Definition of Javascript The History of Javascript Java Versus Javascript Learning Javascript A Basic JavaScript Example The Definition of Javascript JavaScript is a type of programming language that works with HTML to make web pages more interactive. For instance, if you had a trivia quiz on a web page you could use JavaScript to check the answers. Javascript is limited. It is not a full-featured programming language like Java or C++. Think of the JavaScript language as a simple, easy-to-use programming language that has only the features necessary to make web pages interactive. The History of Javascript When the Web was first created in the early 1990s all web pages were static. In other words there were no popup windows, no shopping carts, no flying thingy's etc. Pages just stayed still. At that time Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer were the top browsers. Net...

php super global variables examples | super global variables in php example

Super global variables are special type variables in php. We can access them from any place with in the application. $_GET :-The $_GET is a super global variable. By using this super global variable we can get the posted values of GET method. $_GET super global variable by default, is the only way that we can access variables passed via GET method. $_POST :-The $_POST is a super global variable. By using this super global variable we can get the posted values of POST method. When ever we can submit the form get are post method to get the form values $_REQUEST. $_SESSION :   $_SESSION is a super global variable. By using this super global variable we can create a SESSION and we read the SESSION .SESSION are used to maintain the state of the application. $_COOKIE : $_COOKIE is a super global variable. By using this is super global variable stores information passed into the script through HTTP cookies. $_ENV : $_ENV is a super global variable. By usi...
