You'll want to get PHP from http://www.zend.com/products/zend_core/zend_core_for_i5_os (you can get more than just the runtime from them and this is the supported version). Your understanding of what PHP is is correct. You are also correct in that there is a lot of trendyness for web tools. Java has several plusses (like lots of different tools available for various things) but the learning curve is very, very steep and then on top of it, you also have to learn stuff about the application server (WebSphere is one, Tomcat is another).
I haven't done much with PHP but it is easy to pick up on, it's cross platform (which is nice since you can mess with it locally but be aware that the version you can get from Zend has i5/OS specific parts), and there's lots of community support.
