Peter Wayner examines the platforms and passions underlying today's popular dynamic languages, and though JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Groovy, and other scripting tools are fast achieving the critical mass necessary to flourish into the future, 10 forces in particular appear to be driving the evolution of this development domain. From the co-optation of successful ideas across languages, to the infusion of application development into applications that are fast evolving beyond their traditional purpose, to the rise of frameworks, the cloud, and amateur code enablers, each will have a profound effect on the future of today's dynamic development tools.

That's just it - PHP is too easy. It's easy to sit down and start using it - but the downside to that it can easily be used without the skills to do a good job of it. Both good code and bad code can be written in any language, but some encourage good practices more than others do. PHP isn't one of those.
