Do you want to open PHP page from your developed application?
In case you want to open URL in browser use Runtime. Please find the article: http://www.mkyong.com/java/open-browser-in-java-windows-or-linux/.
If you want to show the web-page in your java application you can use jdic. You can find jdic APIs and forum here: http://java.net/projects/jdic.

@Andrew: by Runtime I mean Runtime class. Is there any issue regarding using it here? Link: docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html

"by Runtime I mean Runtime class." Got that, it was just the date I was checking. "Is there any issue regarding using it here?" Runtime is one of those classes that people report 'everything works fine - here, breaks on next OS/machine etc.' . It is inherently clunky to be calling OS specific functionality in an x-plat app. That is where the
Desktop class (1.6+) comes into its own. See my answer for links. I note from your link that it works for 'Windows & Linux' - what about OS X? |
See Desktop.browse(URI) which:
Launches the default browser to display a URI. If the default browser is not able to handle the specified URI, the application registered for handling URIs of the specified type is invoked. The application is determined from the protocol and path of the URI, as defined by the URI class. ..
