Even if php stopped being used in all new projects today, people are still hiring for cobol projects.

The number of php projects now is orders of magnitude more than cobol in it's heyday.

There are going to be plenty of php jobs for quite some time.

Probably true, but also COBOL usually encodes the business logic, which is much harder to throw away and rewrite from scratch, than any presentation layer written in PHP.
