JPHP - An alternative to Zend PHP, like JRuby and Jython only for PHP

JPHP is a new implementation for PHP which uses the Java VM. It supports many features of the PHP language (7.0+).How does it work? JPHP is a compiler like javac, it compiles php sources to JVM bytecode and then can execute the result on the Java VM. JPHP is not a replacement for the Zend PHP engine or Facebook HHVM.
