This snippet of code is syntactically valid in both PHP and Java, and produces the same output in both.

PhpJava.java

/*<?php
//*/public class PhpJava { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.printf("/*%s",
//\u000A\u002F\u002A
class PhpJava {
    static function main() {
        echo(//\u000A\u002A\u002F
        "Hello World!");
}}
//\u000A\u002F\u002A
PhpJava::main();
//\u000A\u002A\u002F

PhpJava.php

/*<?php
//*/public class PhpJava { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.printf("/*%s",
//\u000A\u002F\u002A
class PhpJava {
    static function main() {
        echo(//\u000A\u002A\u002F
        "Hello World!");
}}
//\u000A\u002F\u002A
PhpJava::main();
//\u000A\u002A\u002F

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

Why is Phava phaping?

But... will it blend?

Just here to read the comments

Can somebody explain what happens after the printf, a string is printed and after that I haven't got a clue what is going on except that a class is created.

Sure, but does it transpile to Javascript?

Why not Japha?

Am I the only one who thought about the current USA election when seeing both code snippets?

I once had a similar idea of PHP in java and created this

Yoo Bro!

This is disgusting, and you should be ashamed. Both languages are already gross; mashing them together just makes me sick.

+1 bravo!

+1 for Phava!

What the...

I'd like to suggest we call this new language Phava.
