Prerequisites

...

• ** Download PHP (this tutorial was done with PHP 4.3.5) **
• Download Tomcat (this tutorial was done with Tomcat 5.0.19) **
• Define $JAVA_HOME for your JDK installation
• ** Define $TOMCAT_HOME for your tomcat installation **
• Define $PHP_HOME for your PHP installation
  1.

Configure PHP Installation:

./configure --with-servlet=$TOMCAT_HOME --with-java=$JAVA_HOME

A jarfile and dynamic library are produced:

• sapi/servlet/phpsrvlt.jar
• libs/libphp4.so

• 2. Copy jar to your webapp's or tomcat's common class repository:
  cp $PHP_HOME/sapi/servlet/phpsrvlt.jar $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib
  
• 3. Declare PHP servlet and servlet-mapping in your or tomcat's common web.xml:
  Copy from $PHP_HOME/sapi/servlet/web.xml servlet and servlet-mapping and paste
  into $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml.
  
• 4. Modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the dynamic library produced in step 1 above:
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PHP_HOME/libs
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  
• 5. Start tomcat:
  $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh.
