The solution I provided does not require Java. Java and Javascript are similar
in name only. Javascript is built into the browsers that will be displaying your page.
All you need to do in PHP is produce the HTML for your client to use. Part of the HTML
will be a Javascript function to post the form. If you are concerned that Javascript
is not active in the browser that will be viewing your page, there are hundreds of
quick ways in DHTML to determine this and display a message to the user stating that
your page will not function properly if Javascript is disabled. What is sometimes hard
to remember is that the PHP that you are writing is not going to be seen by your user,
all they see is the HTML that you produce with your PHP. Think of Javascript and HTML
as one in the same (I know their not but you produce them the same using ECHO
commands).

Once a user has submitted all info, my action page confirms the inputs then
sends out confirmation email and to the CGI requiring the info for processing.
Problem is that I can't get the Java to work with PHP4.
I don't have JDK.
php.ini
----------
extension=php_java.dll
[Java]
java.class.path = .\java\php_java.jar
;java.home = c:\jdk
;java.library = c:\jdk\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll
;java.library.path = .\

You have answered your own question. It doesn't get any simpler than a submit
from Javascript. Now the question you need to think about is when do you want the post
to occur? Are you going to have then press a link? After the page loads? After the
last piece of data is entered? When you know where it should occur then just call a
Javascript function that issues the submit() of the form.
Jim
function postForm()
{
document.forms[0].submit();
}

How do you post a form without actually waiting for submit button to be
pressed? Got a CGI expecting a form post, all the fields are already available as
hidden type in a form, and just need to be send it.
I know you can use Java as such:
<form method="post" action="CGI.php">
<input type="hidden" name="FName" value="myFirstName">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>
