You might also want to check out Caucho's Quercus PHP module / servlet
(< http://quercus.caucho.com/ >).

 At version 3.2.1, Quercus implements PHP 5.2.0 --as seen executing in
this IBM WASCE / Apache Geronimo Java application server snapshot:
(< http://www.chingonazo.com/readonly/geronimo-v2_1_4-quercus-3_2_1-ibm_java1.6.png

Please note that Quercus 3.2.1 has been under continued development
since the 2008 release and currently Quercus 4.0 has been embedded
into Caucho's own Resin 4.0 Java application server.  As you may be
aware, some portal software, think LifeRay, is distributed bundled
with Java application servers like Apache Geronimo (<
http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/downloads/portal  >).  Accordingly,
it is nothing out of the ordinary to deploy your PHP based portal with
an underlying Java application server for added security.

Best regards.
