允许Glassfish和PHP在使用Apache的同一服务器中协同工作

Question

It's possible make a bridge from Java to php file?

I've got an application written in Java and I need execute http://piwik.org/ that is written in PHP. In the server I have PHP running but I cannot access from the browser to the php directory because all incoming traffic is redirected by apache to glassfish Application server.

So my idea is to use Java servlet to execute php files with:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("php /path/to/file/file.php");

Then write the PHP output as java servlet response.

The only problems to accomplish this are:

How can I execute PHP cli that act like a browser?

Which parameters I need to pass to PHP to allow PHP to read or write cookie and session?

Answer 1

When you execute a php script from the command line the GET / POST / SESSION / COOKIE variables are meaningless. When your file.php send a cookie there is no browser to receive it, save it and use it for subsequent requests.

What you can do is use CGI SAPI, so that all HTTP_* variables will be usable, and the headers will be written to the output.

The php-cgi binary implements the CGI interface, which allows you to pass cookies on the command line like this:

HTTP_COOKIE='PHPSESSID=XXXX' php-cgi /path/to/file/file.php

Where XXXX can be the session id of an user. You can read the cookie analyzing the headers on the output.

If you're using Apache anyway to proxy the traffic, I'd just exclude all traffic to Piwik and serve those directly from the file system / mod_php / php-fpm / whatever you normally use.

You could also use php-cgi and pass the appropriate environment variables, but that complicates a lot of stuff, like you'd have to proxy the response back to the browser, too. Apache has already support for this, so don't implement another proxy in your application, do it directly in Apache.

You can exclude a directory from being proxied:

ProxyPass /piwik ! 
ProxyPass / 127.0.0.1:8080 
ProxyPassReverse / 127.0.0.1:8080

Answer 3

Thanks to the idea of kelunik to use Apache to exclude the traffic and the help By Federico I've resolved the problem using this Apache rule:

ProxyPass /phpdir ! 
ProxyPass / 127.0.0.1:8080 
ProxyPassReverse / 127.0.0.1:8080

Apache redirect all request to port 8080, except the folder /phpdir . Into the Apache document root I've created the directory phpdir that is the new root where the PHP applications will be run.

That's it
