As advised, define the feature set, performance goals and security needs before choosing an integration method. Since narrowed the immediate issue to "connecting frontend and backend," the most common, easiest-to-debug approach is to expose the Java side as HTTP APIs (REST/JSON) and have PHP act as a client. A Java REST framework (for example Spring Boot) makes endpoint creation and versioning straightforward, and PHP can call those endpoints using cURL or a library like Guzzle. See a Spring REST primer and the PHP cURL manual for concrete starting points: Spring REST guide PHP cURL manual.

Practical checklist: (1) design an API contract (URIs, HTTP methods, request/response JSON, error codes, versioning); (2) implement and test Java endpoints independently (use curl/Postman); (3) implement the PHP client with timeouts, retries and robust JSON parsing; (4) secure transport with HTTPS and token-based auth (JWT/OAuth2) and add logging on both sides. Familiarize with REST concepts if needed: REST (MDN).

Alternatives and quick troubleshooting: use a message broker (RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ) for async jobs or high-throughput decoupling (RabbitMQ get started). Avoid using a shared database as the primary IPC mechanism unless there is no other choice. When things fail, check HTTP status codes, Content-Type headers, authentication failures, and network/firewall rules; add short-lived POCs and detailed logs to isolate problems quickly.

I think that it's reasonable that you would define your needs more completely and that you would do some of the research instead of posting a totally open-ended question on a forum such as this.

You should provide more detail on what you want this "community portal" to be able to do. You also need to define your objective. Is this a PHP learning exercise or do you want to install a package and get it running as quickly as possible. The more detail you can provide (within reason), the more likely that someone will be able to provide some useful suggestions.
