the user as HTML
You must understand HTML as it is the user interface

PHP and Java

Java
general purpose programming language

wide range of application types
generally more specific to transaction based systems
PHP
specialized programming language
focused on Web and Web services development
simpler language to learn; faster delivery of solutions
Both languages integrate with other application components

regardless of language
PHP and Java can work together in a mixed environment

Java back-end applications have PHP web-based front-ends?
