Hi list, After writing an OO-based set of database-interaction routines in PHP, I recently rewrote this preliminary API in Java to satisfy our desktop-developers. So now I have a DAL (Data Abstraction Layer) in Java and in PHP. I'd rather get rid of one of these, since maintenance on two API causes some serious overhead. I'm inclined to retaining only the Java-version, but I can't seem to find any good documentation on best practices on how to call Java from within PHP. The examples provided at http://us.php.net/manual/en/java.examples-basic.php seem elegant enough, except that I can't find the PECL php_java.dll anywhere. Another project http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/ seems to rely on Apache and LAMP installations all-together, and is therefore not an option for my Windows/IIS setup. Has anybody tried something similar and been succesful?
