PHP and JavaJava™ is a general purpose programming language used for a wide rangeof application types. PHP is a specialized programming language focused on Web and Webservices development. Even though there can be overlap, in general Java is applied more for transaction based systems and for embedded applications, while PHP is used more for web applications. For web applications, PHP can be a simpler language to learn andcombined with the availability of open components, it can allow for quick prototyping and deployment. The two languages can be easily mixed in environments where Java back-end applications have PHP web-based front-ends.
