I've used both, and PHP is far far easier to develop with. However, it is also easier to develop very shitty code with. The best option is to use PHP and enforce strict coding guidelines with your employees so that you don't end up with a lot of code that looks unlike the rest of the code as that is hell on people who do maintainence.
+ PHP is faster, hands-down.
+ PHP includes regexp functions
+ PHP has a huge following, so support or finding code that does what you need done, is very easy.
+ Very little prior programming experience is necessary to understand the basics of PHP. Those with any C or Perl experience will be able to pick up on PHP very quickly.
