Not really. If you can make CORBA calls, most container support CORBA as a protocol to talk to a remote EJB, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
You’d have better luck exposing the EJB Session Bean call as a SOAP Web Service, or simply facade it with a Servlet and invoke that as an ad hoc web service.
Now, if you’re running PHP within a Java EE server (Resin I believe can run PHP), then you might be able to invoke a Java call that can call an EJB Method.
But, frankly, the web service or ad hoc web facade is likely your best, and quickest path to success, assuming you’re allowed to write them.
