Despite PHP's many shortcomings (lack of true object orientation, weak exception handling, no lambdas, and as others have mentioned, is essentially a huge flat namespace of inconsistently-named functions) it won by its ubiquity.  It was free and even the cheapest commodity web hosting providers were offering PHP by 2002 or 2003, so it had a full generation in Internet years to establish itself as the common language for open source developers.   The emergence of Rails in 2005 began to change that but it too...
