I am also in the same boat. My company is mainly Lotus Notes/Microsoft,
and does a lot of Java.  While I have no problem with Java, I would
rather use PHP than Lotus Script or .NET. 

I research the following...

1. The cost of setup is free
2. Model-View-Controller design pattern can be implemented with PHP
3. PHP is faster on the web
4. It's increase in popularity
5. Since PHP works well with UNIX/Linux, so anything can be done
6. Fixes to the language come at a much faster rate than .NET and
others.
7. Function library is awesome!
8. Upgrading to newer versions are free!! Where Microsoft will charge!
9. It's just better...
