Although I have not used it, it seems that you do not need Java to use the Zend_Search_Lucene component. According to the documentation, Zend_Search_Lucene is a fully PHP implementation of Lucene.

However, there is support for interoperability between Java indexes and PHP indexes .

The Zend implementation is the java port for PHP Lucene. This is a great Zend approach.

But the PHP version will be missing for large indexes. Remember that if you have a large index, php will load it every time you invoke a script that do a search / insert in Lucene. Java version, load the index when starting the JVM and store it in memory to use it.
