I don't think you should really concern yourself with the "future" of any particular language when you're looking for a job in the web industry (I assume you are given that you're looking at PHP and Java). The fact is, you can't really be a web developer these days only knowing one language. It's impossible. You need, at least, one server side language (PHP, .NET, Java, Ruby etc), one database query language (most likely SQL), and Javascript for clientside stuff (plus a library like jQuery, YUI, GWT, etc). So, with that in mind, you'll need to learn 3 languages. Once you've done that picking up the basics of another is trivial, so even if PHP (or Java, Ruby, whatever) is abandoned in a couple of years your experience with it will still be useful.
