How can the issue of waiting for a PHP script to finish be addressed when called from a Java environment?

Issue: When calling a PHP script from a Java environment, there may be a need to wait for the PHP script to finish executing before proceeding with the Java code. This can be addressed by using the ProcessBuilder class in Java to execute the PHP script and then using the waitFor() method to wait for the process to finish. 

<?php
// Your PHP script code here
?>
```

```java
import java.io.IOException;

public class PHPJavaIntegration {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("php", "path/to/your/php/script.php");
            Process process = pb.start();
            
            int exitCode = process.waitFor();
            System.out.println("PHP script executed with exit code: " + exitCode);
        } catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
