...or C# or anything else. I programmed in PHP for many years and I agree. I mean there are good reasons for maybe not using Java but it's hard to imagine a good excuse to start PHP these days if you don't already know PHP.

On the other hand, things in PHP-land are improving at such a rapid pace (but without the churn of JavaScript) that if you are a PHP developer there isn't much reason to switch to something different but similar.

Higher quality development jobs tend to use things other than PHP. I say this as a PHP developer. So there's at least that reason to get away from it.

Pretty much this. Switching from PHP to Java resulted in dramatic salary increases for me.

What was that transition like for you? I'd like to get away from web development because I'm bored out of my mind with the front end aspect.
