Sure, there are lots of things. It can run on practically any OS, with very
little memory usage. It's a much better choice for, say, embedded hardware
devices than CF. It can be acquired for free, and you can examine the source
code of the PHP engine. It provides very nice, tight integration with GD,
which is a rich, mature graphics library written in C. It can be run from
the command line; you can actually write PHP applications that aren't web
applications!

Of course, for the vast majority of business apps, these are relatively
unimportant things.
