Welcome to the present. It might have been that way 15-20 years ago but today learning a programming language itself is the easiest part. It is much harder to learn all the current tooling (and frameworks are a part of tooling) that surrounds a particular language/platform. And in that regard, all the tooling around PHP is still relatively easy to grasp. There is much more complex tooling in the Java & .NET worlds. Learning Java is easy, but learning EJB/JSP/Spring/JPA/Hibernate/Seam/ Guice/... is hard. Learning C# is also easy but learning the .NET framework/WPF/WCF/WWF/... is much harder. (I know it because Java/.NET is where I spend most of my time/work). Today it is much more about the tooling than it is about the language. The result is that new programming languages have much better chances to succeed if they are compatible with existing tooling. Just look at all the different languages that can be use don the JVM, many of them with excellent support for working with all the existing Java libraries & frameworks.
