If your site is having much more dynamic content, you need to go for Java(JSP).
Otherwise (if your site having much more static info), you can go for PHP.

Java is a precompiled language.  The Java Virtual Machine transform the source code into bycode.  PHP is source code that is processed by the server as a server module or CGI. 

PHP is mainly a Web Programming Language, Java is a multipurpose language.  It means the PHP is basically web based and Java can be used for desktop software, web, etc.

Java supports event listeners, while PHP does not.

PHP is faster than Java.

Java supports strong typing.

Java supports full OOP features while PHP only supports basic OOP features.

PHP is a quick way to do big jobs in the web.  It connects to databases, services etc, much easier than Java and it's very efficient. 

You need to write less code to do the same job in PHP than in Java.
