Let me just point out that this isn't really a flame, this is a valid
stance. If you know one language/system and you don't know another, and
this is the case for the vast majority of the people who will most
likely be maintaining the system, then it's understandable that those
people might want to go with something they know.

Likewise, if PHP will be used for the rest of the new web site (which,
last I checked, there was consensus for), then it seems fairly sane to
me to try to stick to one language all over.
