************************************
I am not sure the extent of support for Java in PHP. Has anyone ever done this? From articles on Zend.com (they write the PHP engine) they are moving to a more OO language which will have more Java support (probably).

PHP is a scripting language running at the webserver. The scripts are processed when the page is requested by the client. Essentially PHP is intrepreted, not compiled.

Sorry, I should have said 'parsed' not interpreted. The zend engine parses the language, it is not interpreted.

One huge difference is that JSP is part of the J2EE framework, and therefore supported by other J2EE technologies, PHP is not. As an example, Struts will easily render output to JSPs, but would probbly take quite a bit of stroking to send it's output to PHP.

Why did you wake up a nearly 4 year old post to state hear say? I'm going to close this topic, primarily because it is 4 years old and it's technically in the wrong forum anyway.
