Since you're essentially running a command line script, you could use Runtime.getRuntime().exec. Here's a page with a plethora of examples: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html.

If the PHP script is externalized as a web page, you could use Java's URLConnection to call the page so it runs. Documentation: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html
