PHP is certainly not dying.  I suggest you drop a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I'm sure they'll be happy to help you
convince your colleagues otherwise. :-)

Dying? Absolutely not. Work is being done on the Engine, to make it fully
support OOP, extensions are almost daily updated, new features are added,
support for SOAP and Webservices are implemented. The people who are
telling you PHP is dying are basing their opinion on nothing it seems.

  Dying? Since when? Haha, this is 
  quite humorous (and not directed at you =)).
  
  Erik,PHP is no where near dying, and in 
  fact prospering quite nicely, and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know 
  a thing.
  
  For example, where I work, we work with PHP 
  exclusively, except for a bit of Perl here an there. And we are doing 
  very intense credit card processing an other e-Commerce activities. PHP 
  is definetly not 'dying'.
  
  In keeping up with the recent news, people are 
  starting to prepare for PHP5, which will really change the playing field, with 
  so many added features.
  
  I hope the reassures you and your company.
