We use PHP at one of our clients and the biggest problem we have with it 
(I don't use it myself, much) is the Sybase interface doesn't support 
DATE and TIME types and there appears to be no numeric (decimal) type. 
 The latter issue is important, I think, in supporting financial 
applications so I wouldn't recommend it since there are other languages 
suitably equipped for both dynamic web page stuffs and financial stuffs.

The lack of DATETIME types means they're constantly being converted into 
and out of strings then there's more work to sort them accordingly.
