You have various options and it depends on how you want to accomplish it and what you are familiar with.
Java has many capabilities of doing network io (class HttpUrlConnect). You can contact your php page on your server and pull down the information (similar to what a browser does). Another alternative is to have php run as soap and have your java access the php soap service and get xml data. Then you java app can parse the xml and then display it to the user.
