# What is PHPJava?
PHPJava is an experimental library which emulates JVM (a.k.a. Java Virtual Machine) by PHP 🐘
PHPJava reads binary from pre-compiled Java file(s) ☕
This project referred to [Java Virtual Machine Specification](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se11/html/index.html) documentation at the time we made it.
We are welcoming any contributions to this project 💪
Contribution guide is here:
- [The Contribution Guide](https://github.com/memory-agape/php-java/wiki/The-Contribution-Guide)
## Requirements
- PHP >= 7.2
- Composer
- ext-zip
## Quick start
1) Install PHPJava in your project:
```
$ composer require php-java/php-java
```
2) Write Java:
```java
class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(args[0]);
}
}
```
3) Compile Java:
```
$ javac -UTF8 /path/to/HelloWorld.java
```
4) Call the main method as follows:
```php
getInvoker()
->getStatic()
->getMethods()
->call(
'main',
["Hello World!"]
);
```
5) Get the result
```
$ php /path/to/HelloWorld.php
Hello World!
```
## Java Archive (Execute *.jar file)
1) Build your Java files into a class:
```
$ javac -encoding UTF8 -d build src/*
$ cd build && jar -cvfe ../Test.jar Test *
```
2) Execute the jar on PHPJava with either an enrtypoint or your target method.
```php
execute([]);
// or
(new JavaArchive('Test.jar'))
->getClassByName('Test')
->getInvoker()
->getStatic()
->getMethods()
->call(
'main',
[]
);
```
### Get/Set static fields
e.g., Set or Get static fields:
```php
getInvoker()
->getStatic()
->getFields();
// Set
$staticFieldAccessor->set('fieldName', 'value');
// Get
echo $staticFieldAccessor->get('fieldName');
```
### Call a static method
e.g., Call a static method:
```php
getInvoker()
->getStatic()
->getMethods()
->call(
'methodName',
$firstArgument,
$secondArgument,
$thirdArgument,
...
);
// Or, if the called method has a return value, you can store it to a variable.
$result = (new JavaClass(new FileReader('/path/to/HelloWorld.class')))
->getInvoker()
->getStatic()
->getMethods()
->call(
'methodWithSomethingReturn',
$firstArgument,
$secondArgument,
$thirdArgument,
...
);
// Output the $result you want
echo $result;
```
### Get/Set dynamic fields
If you want to get/set dynamic fields, you need to call the `construct` method on Java by PHPJava.
e.g., Call dynamic field:
```php
getInvoker()->construct();
$dynamicFieldAccessor = $javaClass
->getInvoker()
->getDynamic()
->getFields();
// Set
$dynamicFieldAccessor->set('fieldName', 'value');
// Get
echo $dynamicFieldAccessor->get('fieldName');
```
### Call a dynamic method
If you want to get/set dynamic method (same as a field), you need to call the `construct` method on Java by PHPJava.
e.g., Call dynamic method:
```php
getInvoker()
->construct()
->getDynamic()
->getMethods();
$dynamicMethodAccessor
->call(
'methodName',
$firstArgument,
$secondArgument,
$thirdArgument,
...
);
// Or, if the called method has a return value, you can store it to a variable.
$dynamicMethodAccessor
->call(
'methodWithSomethingReturn',
$firstArgument,
$secondArgument,
$thirdArgument,
...
);
// Output the $result you want
echo $result;
```
### Call ambiguous methods in Java from PHP
- In PHP, types are more ambiguous than Java.
- For example, you may want to call a method that accepts a `long` parameter in Java from PHP.
In this case, you can call that method as follows:
#### e.g., [Recommended] Wrap with `\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\_Long`.
##### In Java
```java
class Test
{
public static void includingLongTypeParameter(long n)
{
System.out.println(n);
}
}
```
##### In PHP
```php
getInvoker()->getStatic()->getMethods()->call(
'includingLongTypeParameter',
new \PHPJava\Kernel\Types\_Long(1234)
);
```
The example will return `1234`.
#### e.g., Set `false` to strict mode option.
##### In PHP
```php
false,
]
);
```
### Runtime options
- Available options on `JavaClass` or `JavaArchive`:
|Options | Value | Default | Description |Targeted |
|:-------------:|:-------------:|:-------------:|:-------------:|:-------------:|
| entrypoint | string or null | null | The entrypoint in JAR. | JavaArchive |
| max_stack_exceeded | integer | 9999 | Execute more than the specified number of times be stopped the operation. | JavaClass |
| max_execution_time | integer | 30 | Maximum execution time. | JavaClass |
| strict | boolean | true | When `true`, PHPJava calls a method, variables, and so on strictly; otherwise, it calls them ambiguously. | Both |
| preload | boolean | false | When `true`, PHPJava pre-reads JavaClasses when emulating JAR. This may consume larger size of memory depending on the size of the JAR file; otherwise, JavaArchive defers loading. | JavaArchive |
| validation.method.arguments_count_only | boolean | false | When `true`, ClassResolver validates arguments by their number only. | JavaClass |
| operations.enable_trace | boolean | true | When `true`, PHPJava stores the operation history. | JavaClass |
| operations.temporary_code_stream | string | php://memory | Operation code will be output to temporary stream. Change this if your code is heavy so you'll be happy. | JavaClass |
| operations.injector.before | callable | null | Inject an executor before executing an operation. | JavaClass |
| operations.injector.after | callable | null | Inject an executor after executing an operation. | JavaClass |
| log.level | int | Logger::EMERGENCY | The output level of `Monolog`. | Both |
| log.path | string or resource | php://stdout | The output destination of `Monolog`. | Both |
| dry_run (Not Implemented) | boolean | false | Checking JavaClass/JavaArchive structure only. When `true`, PHPJava runs in dry-run mode. | Both |
| env (Not Implemented) | enum | Environment::EXPERIMENTAL | Your environment. | Both |
- Example of JavaClass:
```php
12345,
'validation' => [
'method' => [
'arguments_count_only' => true,
],
],
]
);
```
- Example of GlobalOptions
```php
[
'level' => Logger::DEBUG,
],
'validation' => [
'method' => [
'arguments_count_only' => true,
],
],
]);
```
### Output PHPJava operations
- Output debug trace if you want to see operation log:
```php
getInvoker()
->getStatic()
->getMethods()
->call(
'main',
["Hello", 'World']
);
// Show debug traces.
$javaClass->debug();
```
- Output debug trace:
```
[method]
public static void main(java.lang.String[])
[code]
<0xb2> <0x00> <0x02> <0x2a> <0x03> <0x32> <0xb6> <0x00> <0x03> <0xb2> <0x00> <0x02> <0x2a> <0x04> <0x32> <0xb6> <0x00> <0x03> <0xb2> <0x00>

- **[executed]** shows the executed programs.
- **PC** shows the Program Counter.
- **OPCODE** shows the Operation Codes.
- **MNEMONIC** shows the names of the Operation Codes.
- **OPERANDS** shows the stacked items on memory.
- **LOCAL STORAGE** shows the stacked items on a method.
## PHP problems
- **Problem 1:** PHP cannot calculate big numbers because PHP is different from Java.
But PHPJava uses `bcmath` functions and `gmp` functions to a certain extent to cover such calculations.
Therefore, PHPJava returns a mixed value and we recommend to cast them to `string` on PHPJava.
- **Problem 2:** PHPJava cannot completely cover Java types because PHP is different from Java.
The comparison table of Java and PHPJava is shown below:
|Java |PHPJava |
|:-------------:|:-------------:|
|null |null |
|boolean |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Boolean (including `__toString`) |
|char |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Char (including `__toString`) |
|byte |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Byte (including `__toString`) |
|short |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Short (including `__toString`) |
|int |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Int (including `__toString`) |
|long |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Long (including `__toString`) |
|float |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Float (including `__toString`) |
|double |\PHPJava\Kernel\Types\\_Double (including `__toString`) |
- **Problem 3:** PHPJava cannot calculate big number of `double` and `float` because `gmp_pow` cannot calculate negative exponents. So, PHPJavas use built-in function `pow`.
## Run Kotlin on the PHPJava
Do you wanna run Kotlin on the PHPJava? Are you serious?
Haha, yes, you can, but this feature is currently experimental.
### Quick Start
1) Write Kotlin:
```kotlin
fun main(args: Array) {
println("Hello World!")
}
```
2) Compile Kotlin:
```
$ kotlinc HelloWorld.kt -include-runtime -d HelloWorld.jar
```
3) Execute JAR:
```php
execute([]);
```
You'll get the result: `Hello World!`.
## Run unit tests
- To run a PHPUnit test:
```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests
```
- To run PHP Coding standards test:
```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml src
```
- To run all tests:
```
$ composer run tests
```
