Oh how apt your timing is, Jeff Atwood just wrote a nice article on his Coding Horror block titled:

"PHP Sucks, But It Doesn't Matter" (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001119.html)

Why introduce regressions and headache by switching to another language that I'm guessing you don't know as well as PHP.

Jeff says it best in that article: "building a compelling application is far more important than choice of language."

Personally, I'd just keep plugging away in PHP. It isn't my favorite language, but it has yet to fail me. It is like the farmers rusty pickup truck. Not very flashy, but it gets the job done.
