What makes Java a "crappy" language?
I think PHP's success is due to its ability to integrate HTML
statements. Also, it was often the only option back in the day
from cheap web hosting services. And it seemed like on those
cheap web hosts, when offered, Python and Perl were accessed via
CGI, while PHP used via an Apache module which I think gave it a
speed/resource utilization advantage.
