The PHP interpretation is for the server. Wouldn't the android-java-app be able to work with the php-server?

That's not entirely true, there are applications that can run PHP on
Android, I've used them in the past. However, it would be much more
limited, and was only a CLI interface, without the capability to run the
internal web server.
Thanks,

Couple of things: please don't top-post, and please keep on list for everyone to benefit.
Now on to a reply.
The PHP interpreter isn't just for a server. PHP is a scripting
language, and as such, also has a happy home on the command line.
In-fact, to this end, PHP comes with its own internal testing
server:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
that allows you to test web-based code via a browser without
needing something like Apache, Nginx, or IIS set up locally.
In order to run code (either on a web server, or over the CLI)
you need something that can parse and interpret that PHP code and
then execute it. As I mentioned before, there were apps on Android
that allowed you to execute PHP scripts on the phone via a command
line interface. I've not used one for years now, so I can't recall
any names of decent ones, however a Google search reveals many
exist, and some that execute in a web-based context, so you can
see the results in any browser installed on the phone.
