Tomcat supports cgi. So it is possible to run php as cgi. It might not be the best idea, but it should be possible.

PHP runs on Apache or on Nginx (via fastcgi). Those are two very common use cases. You can't run PHP on Tomcat.

Edit: tomcat doesn't run PHP natively and depending on your requirements you may want to consider alternatives such as Nginx or Apache.
