Java's really more of a full-on programming language. Though the distinction is sometimes fuzzy, scripting languages are often not compiled. Java *is* compiled, but to a "bytecode" that runs on the Java Virtual Machine.

PHP, Ruby, Python, etc are run bit by bit in something called an interpreter. This, largely, is what makes them scripting languages.

Scripting languages are also often at a higher level than programming languages. They have features that make it relatively easy to do things that would take many lines of code in a traditional programming languages.
 
That question doesn't make sense, but I'll try to answer what I think you are asking.

A scripting language is a programming language that is not compiled, but interpreted (it is translated to machine code while it is being executed). Generally these languages tend to be faster to write programs in, but slower to execute. Java and PHP are both mainstream scripting languages used in many corporate and hobbyist environments.
