How does the 5250 Bridge API work from the PHP script?

The basic process is as follows: 1. PHP sends a ‘start session’ request to the 5250 Program using the 5250 Bridge API. 2. The 5250 Bridge API returns a confirmation to PHP that the interactive program session has started. 3. The 5250 Bridge API sends current screen information in XML format to PHP (e.g. input and output fields, their attributes and cursor position). 4. PHP sends input values and function key actions to the 5250 Bridge API.
