...just from my experience:

PHP is - for different, but mainly technical/historical reasons - very widely 
spread within web applications, one major reason was/is i.e. the large 
(because "easy") availability on low cost hosting environments in the past - 
but the most advantages was/are on the side of the hosting providers....

PHP might be easier to learn then other languages or frameworks, but 
maintaining large / complex applications / software projects within PHP could 
be a real mess.

We develop nearly any web application with Zope / ZODB since >= 10 years but 
are a hosting company byself - so we was not bound to PHP as many other 
internet hosting users in the past. A colleagues company produces very high 
level expert systems on Perl and Catalyst - requiring high skilled Perl 
programmers.
