Once people realized its actually more secure and performant than java you saw big companies using it such as Disney Parks. This was new they had been using java for at least a decade before moving to php for developer productivity. I used to write java for them and you had only a test server, you had to know the language well because you had to wait 30 minutes for your servlet to compile in a compile wait list on the server. With php you could easily test locally, and they used php off the shelf so you no longer needed to know all the quirks of Disney's proprietary Tea servlet templating system.
