Nay, not so. PHP is a good general-domain language.
PHP *can* be used as a general-domain language. However it was developed to be a web development language, and was hacked into other domains later. PHP is the language I know best. I use it all the time to develop web pages, and I have used it in the past to do other things - shell scripts, text file parsing, even billing scripts that were run by a cron job. But because a language is capable of doing these things does not make it "good" at doing them, and certainly doesn't make it the best choice.
