Well, you probably want your coders to create and maintain an environment that makes it easy to write good code in. PHP has no place in such an environment.
Moreover it's highly unlikely that a good coder would apply for a PHP job in first place.

I agree with the second part, but I think the first part is wrong.
I think he wants coders to create and maintain software that the company will use on a daily basis, in which case, PHP is perfect for that.
