PHP gives better access to newbies (because you don't need to know about any libraries) and it has great support.
PHP has better readability than other languages, like for example perl. So if you contract somebody to write a project for you, you can actually understand what he is doing.
And you don't need to have a webserver running like in Ruby on Rails.

So there sure is a reason why PHP is so widely adopted. It might not be suitable for some applications. But if you use caching, it's as good as it gets for the majority of websites.
