Basic things from the top of my head:

- Full OO = short development time = cheaper development.

- Integrated security = less chances of unsecure scripts.

- Transactational security.

- Undoable transactions.

- Integrated user management.

- Transparent scalability.

- Integrated rights/permission management.
( No, it's true that they probably do not need better permission management
than they can build with PHP. But with Zope you don't have to build it at
all. It's alredy there.)

These are the things you get for free with Zope that you don't get with PHP.
I have also probably missed out on several.
