Want to run PHP and access Java? Here's how to do it on Windows XP using Apace and Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat is a Servlet container developed at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run. Tomcat should not be confused with the Apache web server, which is a C implementation of a HTTP web server; these two HTTP web servers are not bundled together. Apache Tomcat includes tools for configuration and management, but can also be configured by editing configuration files that are normally XML-formatted.
Learn how to compile a custom-built version of PHP 5 from the source, and replace the stock build on a FreeBSD VPS server from Verio. The purpose of the custom-build is to install some extensions that can not be dynamically loaded and must be compiled in, specifically tidy and zip. These notes show how to build the Apache 2 shared module and CLI versions of PHP, but not the CGI version.
In this article we are going to compile PHP as Apache 2 shared module because there is no option, in case of Apache 2, to compile PHP as Apache static module. It was possible with Apache versions prior to version 2.
