This is simply not true. PHP comes in both a web ready embedded version,
as well as a CLI version, and is quite capable, even of handling things
like streams and such, and can even be used to write a daemon listening on
a port quite easily.
Just because it (probably) hasn't been used to write such a system doesn't
mean you couldn't do it in PHP.
