#$# can works with the library named #%&', the last library that help us to

reach the goal is the (ersion ).2.).

The #%&' ).2.) library contains .dlland .jarfiles that allow us to configure

some *not all+ #$# (ersion with Tomcat.

ll instalation will be made in the folder-

The last (ersion of #$# that works with that #%&' (ersion was the ).2./. Then

I will use the#$# ).2./ for in"2.

The contents of the .0ip file was uncompressed in the folder-

C:\ServerWeb\Php_5.2.16\

Inside of this folder there are two files containing templates of configuration of

php-

php.ini-dist*for de(eloping+ and php.ini-recommended*for production+,

the difference consist into if the errors will be shown, while the (ersion for

de(eloping shows the errors and other information, the (ersion for production

does not.

s I1m testing I took php.inidist and copied-copy php.ini-dist php.ini

Now lets go to declare to system the path of the PHP.

$ere we select the PATH(ariable and press the Editbutton.

4inally modify the (ariable (alue adding at the end the path of PHPand press

the !button.

Tomcat

The (ersion of Tomcattested that worked well was the !.5.6, because !.5.62

(ersion had problems with starting and stopping in indows. Then this post

will work with Tomcat !.5.6 for in"2.

The contents of the .0ip file was uncompressed in the folder-

C:\ServerWeb\Tomcat_7.0.41\

In order to do this, we need to create a new (ariable with name #AVA&H'E,

this (ariable is checked by Tomcat.

Similarly to declare to path of #$#, but we need to access to Environment

Variables, pressing the Newbutton.

In the New System Variabledialog box, we write the name of the (ariable

with#AVA&H'Eand the (ariable (alue with the path of 7a(a, in my case

()*Program +iles*#ava*,d./.0&12*

s you can see the new (ariable was added.

3ow we will make some changes optional on some files in the subdirectory

namedbininside the folder of Tomcat.To start Tomcat silently *without console window popup+, change in the file

namedsetclasspath.bat, the line set &34N#AVA

3ow, lets go to mak changes in the file service.batin the subdirectory

namedbin.

To change the ser(ice name and name to be displayed *this not alters of

functionality of Tomcat1s ser(ice+, we make this-

set SERVICE_NAME=Tomcat7.0.41

set PR_DISPLAYNAME=Tomcat7.0.41

set PR_DESCRIPTION=Tomcat 7.0.41 Server

To start Tomcat when indows does, we make the following change-

"%EXECUTABLE%" //IS//%SERVICE_NAME% --Startup auto

e can modify our web ser(er port, which is initially set to 5050, change it

to 50, in this case we need to make changes in the file server.6mlin the

subdirectory named confinside the folder of Tomcat.

8ou can also set the directory where all web applications will be deployed, for

this demostration, I made a new folder named7ebappslocated inside

of Server7eb.

C:\ServerWeb\Webapps\

Inside of this folder, I made other folder named http, specifically a context that

represents an application.

C:\ServerWeb\Webapps\http\

These changes in the file server.6mlwill be-

Integrating Tomcat with PHP

This changes are in order to use #$# with Tomcat.

9ownload the #$# %xtension &ommunity 'ibrary (ersion ).2.) for in"2.

4or this example, I will unpack the contents to *although this is not necessary+-

C:\ServerWeb\Pecl_5.2.5\
http://museum.php.net/php5/pecl-5.2.5-Win32.ziphttp://joseluisbz.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/removing-service_bat.pnghttp://joseluisbz.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/stoping-service_bat.pnghttp://museum.php.net/php5/pecl-5.2.5-Win32.zip

&opy the file php2servlet.dllfrom the pecl-2.8.2-7in98.:ipto the

folder()*Server7eb*Php&2.8.;*

&opy the file php&,ava.dllfrom the pecl-2.8.2-7in98.:ipto the

folder()*Server7eb*Php&2.8.;*e6t*

In order to make use of php&,ava.dllwe need to make changes in the

configuration file of #$#, php.ini, adding a new line like is shown below.

extension=php_java.dll

So far e(erything is ready as far as #$# is concerned.

&opy the file php&,ava.,arfrom the pecl-2.8.2-7in98.:ipto the

folder()*Server7eb*Tomcat&/.0.1*lib*

3ow, we need to make changes in the file named phpsrvlt.,arand create a new

file named php2srvlt.,ar

4irst, we need to uncompress the file with *in my case+-

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\jar.exe" xfv phpsrvlt.jar
http://joseluisbz.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/editing_php_ini.png

Second, as can be seen, two folders are decompressed one call net, inside which

there is another folder named php. In this folder php there are multifle files,

including one calledreflect.propertiesand another

called servlet.properties. The contents of both files must be-

library=php5servlet

17/21

s you can see, without spaces.

Third, let1s go to create the needed file-

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\jar.exe" cvf php5srvlt.jar net/php/

18/21

4ourth, include the php2srvlt.,arfile to be used by applications in Tomcat,

copying this file into subdirectory libof Tomcat

9irectory ()*Server7eb*Tomcat&/.0.1*lib*in this case will be a(ailable

for all applications of Tomcat.

3ow, e need to modify the fileweb.6ml*9eployment 9escriptor+ in the

subdirectory named confinside of Tomcat installation folder.

4irst change- declaring the name of ser(let and its classes.

php

net.php.servlet

php-formatter

net.php.formatter

before.

Third change- including and establishing the files and its order in which the

default ser(let looks for the :welcome file:.

index.php

'ast we will test the integration, creating a file named test.php inside of
