Java to be used within PHP often is painful. So, Japha [1] is an attempt to bring the main classes in the Java 1.4.1 (soon to be 1.4.2, time allowing) to PHP for use in everyday programs. Japha refers to PHP 5. This allows us to easily implement interface, abstract classes, and more inheritance capabilities, not to mention excellent error handling and the ability to better conform with user-created data types.
