Getting Started with Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java

Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java consists of 3 individual parts: the script wrapper (aspose.slides-xx.x.php), the java wrapper (aspose.slides.php-xx.x.jar), and Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java. These components communicate via a PHP/Java Bridge whereas both require separate environments & processes for execution.

Prerequisites

JDK
PHP/Java Bridge
Web Server like Tomcat
PHP

Installation

Install Tomcat on any location such as \java\apache-tomcat-9.0.24.
Copy JavaBridge.war to Tomcat's webapps folder such as \java\apache-tomcat-9.0.24\webapps.
Run \bin\startup.bat. JavaBridge.war will be deployed to \java\apache-tomcat-9.0.24\webapps\JavaBridge. If you want to use php 8, replace the original Java.inc from php-java bridge with Java.inc from Java.inc.php8.zip.
Copy aspose-slides-xx.x-php.jar to a lib folder such as \java\apache-tomcat-9.0.24\webapps\JavaBridge\WEB-INF\lib.
Run \bin\shutdown.bat and then \bin\startup.bat.
Test http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/test.php to confirm that PHP works fine.
Copy aspose.slides.php and example.php to \java\apache-tomcat-9.0.24\webapps\JavaBridge.
Open http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/example.php or create your own PHP file (see the examples below)

You will find the Jar and PHP library in the vendor/aspose/slides folder.
