If you are unfamiliar with the name of Liferay, it is a Java based CMS that is scripting language agnostic, meaning you can develop portlets in PHP, ASP, JSP, Ruby, Groovy, Python, etc...
At the company I work at we are using Liferay (coming from a strong PHP shop) as our new CMS and are having to convert over our PHP applications to Liferay PHP applications.
Why are we having to 'convert' them?
Java and PHP play very nicely together. To develop a PHP application inside a Java server (ie. Tomcat) all you have to do is make sure to include the library of Quercus and the interpretation of PHP is done for you. Now, obviously there is more to it then just adding Quercus to your Java webapp, but the idea is there.
This developers guide touches on single page PHP Portlets, multi-page PHP Portlets and even using AJAX to accomplish your development needs.
I hope you find the guide useful! If you have any questions just contact me!
