How can i run Single PHP File using apache-tomcat-6.0.18?

Question

i want to run single php file using apache-tomcat-6.0.18

my project is GWT project with server side is java servlet

i deployed my project on server in apache-tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/ folder

So please tell me the solution to run php file

Tomcat is designed for running servlets, which handle their own responses to HTTP requests. PHP is designed as a preprocessor that runs in tandem with a full-blown webserver like Apache, which handles the requests itself. — Amber, Apr 13 '10 at 08:53
Agree with Dav. You are mixing things up. Its possible to run PHP from within java (as explained in a post below), but you want to stay away from it. Either run java servlets, or completely run PHP as explained in http://code.google.com/p/gwtphp/ if you absolutely want GWT as well. But don't mix technologies, its not worth it. — Sripathi Krishnan, Apr 13 '10 at 10:38

We can do this by using JavaBridge..

Download below jar file (ie extract jars from JavaBridge.war)

JavaBridge.jar
php-script.jar
php-servlet.jar

and put into your project lib folder. then type the following entry in web.xml

web.xml

<!-- the following 8 lines extend the servlet spec 2.2 "url-pattern" to handle PHP PATH_INFO: *.php/something?what=that. Remove them, if you don't need this feature. -->
    <filter>
        <filter-name>PhpCGIFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>php.java.servlet.PhpCGIFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>PhpCGIFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

    <!-- the following adds the JSR223 listener. Remove it if you don't want to use the JSR223 API -->
    <listener>
        <listener-class>php.java.servlet.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <!-- the back end for external (console, Apache/IIS-) PHP scripts; remove it if you don't need this -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>PhpJavaServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>php.java.servlet.PhpJavaServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <!-- runs PHP scripts in this web app; remove it if you don't need this -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>php.java.servlet.fastcgi.FastCGIServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>


    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>PhpJavaServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.phpjavabridge</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

save the file. Restart tomcat server. now Php files will be work under tomcat server!

"www" folder is present in IIS server not in apache ... In apache tomcat server instead of "www" , "Root" folder is present copy all those needed files in that root folder and have acces to thos files

after installation of any server a single restart is mandatory ,, otherwise results are unpredictable... Thanks a lot

Use the PHP/Java Bridge. As long as your PHP was compiled with cgi support, it should work seamlessly.

You should put your php file in www folder in apache installation and then you can access that file from browser like this:

http://localhost/your_file_name.php

localhost is the default host name in most configurations.

but there no folder like www in apache-tomcat-6.0.18 installation directory – Tushar Ahirrao Apr 13 '10 at 08:52
what about what like 'httdocs' or `public_html`, you need to search in for those names in apache directory. – Sarfraz Apr 13 '10 at 08:53
"Apache Tomcat" is not the same thing as "Apache". One is a servlet host, the other is a web server. – Amber Apr 13 '10 at 08:54
i am using Apache Tomacat and there is no folder with name httdocs & public_html . it contains only bin,conf,logs,webapps,lib,work folders – Tushar Ahirrao Apr 13 '10 at 08:59
