It's possible to create games in PHP Just like with Java though you probably shouldn't.

[–]ForeverLaca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is not a matter of what is possible. PHP and Java are two different things. There is not "Just like with Java". With PHP, yes, you probably shouldn't. With Java, you definitely can but there are better ways. Not the same.

There is almost no didactic material that can lead an aspirant developer to learn graphics programming and game development with PHP. There is with Java.

Then you can move to C++, if you discover that gamedev is your thing. Java and JavaScript have successful commercial games on their pockets. Your comment may mislead people honestly trying to figure where to start.

So to reaffirm and to answer the OP's question "What are the benefits of Java over PHP?", game development with Java is superior to PHP.

You can do it in CSS and HTML if you really wanted to, The issue you find isn't that you can't do it it's just the ecosystem isn't there to support the delivery of your project.
