For all of the complaints and flaws, PHP is a mature, well supported language. It has more years of code written for it then literally any other language in common use today, save maybe C, simply because It's been around since the very early days of HTML.
Sure, it was meant to automate the layouts and some of the content of small homepages, but there's been solid support for it for all that time, and development in good faith for the purpose of being used by everyone. ASP and other imitators never had that going for them, they never even got off the ground compared to PHP.
For the entire time I've been programming in PHP, people have said it's on the way out... And yet everything they said would replace it has either become a legacy language you have to struggle to maintain work in, or a dead language you had to scramble to convert your work over from.
I wouldn't be surprised if it stays relevant for another 15 years.
