I "aggregate" PHP with Cocoon by either putting a call to a PHP file directly in our agency's XHTML source files or building a call to a PHP file in a XSLT transformation. In both scenarios the call to the PHP file is sent to Apache for PHP processing. Note that in my scenarios the PHP is processed after Cocoon is done. Depending on how you have Apache configured, you can also "include" PHP files as you would include other files using a virtual include.
I don't know if this is the most efficient method, but it has worked for me in the past. Gary T.

Cocoon wiki has a great article about ModProxy at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/ApacheModProxy Example: You have a cocoon based site and want to have some bulletin board, NOW. You decide PhpBB suits your needs. Then you can put that into some other directory out of Cocoon's sight and "mount" it with ModProxy at http://www.yoursite.com/bb/ Of course, that's no true integration, although it would be possible to share the same database between PHP and Cocoon, thus being able to use each other's content. It's still the best thing you can do IMHO. Cocoon and PHP are so very different that its not straightforward to "truly" integrate them. There is also a PHP block in Cocoon, but sincerely I have no idea what it does and I'm not sure if it was ever actually used by somebody.
