How can I run PHP code within a Java application? [duplicate]

Answer 1

The solution to this problem is to download the files JavaBridge.jar, php-script.jar and php-servlet.jar from http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/download.php then import them into your class:

import javax.script.*;

import php.java.bridge.*;
import php.java.script.*;
import php.java.servlet.*;

Then the code can then be run as before:

String code="echo 5+5;"; //sample bit of code
ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByExtension("php");
try {
    engine.eval(code);
} catch (ScriptException ex) {
    //catch statement
}
