PHP jobs pay less simply because it is so much easier to use for rapid development. I at various times have been a hardcore perl guy then I moved onto ASP and finally I've settled into PHP and don't want to go back to either of the other ones. I can build something in PHP in a day that took a week in ASP.

There is simply MORE work available for a PHP programmer. If you're good you'll find yourself getting snagged up by one of the first people you do a big job for and they like you which is WHY there's a shortage of good PHP people in the wild... they simply get their schedule filled up by the first or second person that gives them regular work.
