Java is most of the time like breaking a fly on a wheel.
Trying to do anything but the simplest application in php and get good performance over a simple java servlet is like trying to get to mars for the last 50 years using chemical propulsion when you should be investing r&d in nuclear or magnetoplasma drives. Both require a paradyme shift. Again php is fine for simple applications, but what if you need in additon to performance, integration with webservices, enterprise level security, and a huge number of different libraries to draw functions from. From experience That just doesn't happen with php. Not that you can't build some cool apps with php, its just I don't think i'd want to do anything major with it. Just an opionion. But I agree, Most people start at the wrong phase. Gather you user requirements, than assess your development/deployment environment needs.
