JPHP is not a replacement for the Zend PHP engine or Facebook HHVM. We don’t plan to implement the zend runtime libraries (e.g. Curl, PRCE, etc.) for JPHP.
Our project started in October 2013. There were a few reasons for that:
Ability to use java libraries in PHP
Upgrading performance via JIT and JVM
Replacing the ugly runtime library of Zend PHP with a better runtime library.
Using the PHP language not only on the web
Also: unicode for strings and threads
Features
PHP 5.6+ (and many language features from PHP 7.0 and 7.1).
