but the ext/java as it is would not be suitable, as it would spawn new JVMs every once in a while (thus it would use a different JVM then the one that called the PHP page). the solution would be to pass the JVM somehow to the PHP page (maybe as a global variable?), and then make it use that JVM when executing JNI calls.

So a solution would be then:

- from java, use JNI to call function in libphp4.so
- libphp4.so, properly called, would execute a PHP script
- this PHP script could call java functions through JNI, using a JVM passed to it somehow

Where can I find documentation for calling libphp4.so? How do I execute a PHP script by calling some functions in libphp4.so?
