Given the experience I have had with getting this to work, the
complexity involved in making it work, and the apparent abandonment of
this approach in the latest 5.x version of PHP, I would agree. Due to
my inexperience I initially approached the problem of running PHP and
a Java webapp together by placing both inside Tomcat. The better
solution appears to be, correct me if I'm wrong, to use Apache to run
PHP scripts and mod_jk to run Tomcat which can then be used to run any
Java webapps under the same web domain.
My desire to run PHP stems from my need to run a forum package with a
very specific feature set that the client has made a requirement. Very
few packages written in any language support these features. Of those
available after several weeks of searching the net, only PHP-based
forums seem to offer what I need, thus, the desire to use PHP at all.
Given a choice I would opt for nothing but Java, but the customer is
always right.
