You can, if you have a way of starting PHP interpreter from PL/SQL. Proposed way of doing that would be the following:

Find a way to link PHP module into Oracle RDBMS as an external procedure. That is not as far-fetched as it seems: there is such a software for perl. It's called "extproc_perl" and can be found at: http://www.smashing.org/extproc_perl/
Use it from Oracle PL/SQL. If you want to call your package "HTP", you're more then welcome. Oracle doesn't reserve that name.
