Well, it seems you are both at a stalemate: He knows PHP; You know CF. But, when the coding starts, who will do the work? You or him?
Why throw out your CF skills and put you on a learning curve with PHP? Also, check out www.forta.com for some more resources. Another good reason to stick with CF is the excellent programmers on this list.

Although my boss is now CEO of the company, he started out as a C programmer and so is a PHP fan. Currently our storefront is Miva Merchant. I on the other hand am a CF devotee (intermediate level) with very little background in PHP (having discovered CF before PHP). I would like to transition our company's online store to a CF based app, so that if we need to do any customization (pretty much inevitable), it's not a problem for me. However my boss would like me to learn PHP and use a php based system -- he is very hesitant to go to CF because he has no CF background or knowledge (and so doesn't know how cool it is.) So I am hoping the CF pros on this list could offer some compelling reasons to use CF instead of PHP for our storefront, that might help me convince my boss. Of course shortening development time is the obvious one, but if anyone knows any actual figures on that (CF vs PHP) it would be very helpful. Also I'd love to hear about any good storefront apps in CF (willing to spend some dough if needed) that anyone has experience with. The only one I know about is CFWebstore.
