PHP is perfectly suited for small web development tasks, like to add some dynamic content to static pages without much overhead or setup.
The language is easy to learn and to handle, and can also be used to create command line scripts. (Instead of the more complicated Perl for example.)
However, PHP's history, evolving from a macro processor is still visible. While it supports OOP, the core of the language is not object oriented

Quite simply if PHP didn't exist I wouldn't have a job or maybe never have gotten into programming. Its a very easy language to use but difficult to master.
