Everyone and their dog can learn basics of php in a couple of days, creating illusionary supply of countless self-appointed web experts with neither skill nor potential to ever move past the most basic level. Java, on the other hand, is reasonably easy, but not that easy as to attract people who should never got into this business in the first place. And that is a Good Thing. As for prices - it's not that Java programmers are expensive - it's that illusionary over-supply of php people drive the prices below any reasonable levels.
