Hi Sam,
the last question. I have found this email that you have wrote to Stefano:

My question is: you wrote " ......To build, one needs to first build PHP as
a servlet. Then copy the resulting phpsrvlt.jar into xml-cocoon-lib and
build cocoon. Then copy both phpsrvlt.jar and cocoon.jar into Tomcat's lib
directory, and add the php servlet DLL or shared library to your
path/LD_LIBRARY_PATH....": are these things I must do or they have already
been included in Cocoon2? Is the phpsrvlt.jar included in cocoon.jar?
Some frinds of mine have told me that php is tight bound to Apache. They
said that the Php must be installed inside Apache: is it true?
Thanks
Best Regards
Marco
