Any resources for iPhone/Android App development in PHP

Question

So I just finished developing a website built completely in PHP using the Instagram API... I want to create an app for iPhones and Android.

My question: Is there an easy way to develop apps in PHP for the iPhone or Android devices? I know they're developed using Java, but I don't know Java all that well... I would much prefer PHP, does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks for any input!
