public class URLConnectionReader {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
      try {
        URL phpUrl = new URL("http://server/myphp.php");
        URLConnection urlCon = phpUrl.openConnection();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(
                                urlCon.getInputStream()));
        String line;

        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) 
            System.out.println(line);
        br.close();
      } catch(Exception e) {
        // handle errors here...
      }
    }
}

you will need to modify the php applicatin to receive some details about the results. Either the file location or maybe the file in MIME.

But you will need to add more information so we can help you out.
