very web-orientated, with many, many extensions; a few of the things easily possible in PHP:
html creation
image(jpg, gif, png) creation
flash(mng/shockwave) creation
pdf creation
several DB access methods; postgresQL, MSSQL, mySQL, Oracle, ODBC more obscure ones
xml functions
Cybercash other online payment system integrated
hardcore encryption eg IDEA, 3DES, blowfish others
email functions for IMAP, pop3, etc
good regex engine (supports perl-compatible regex, and POSIX)
zip compression/decompression
(and more)
also very easy to learn use, supported on many server/OS combinations, and has possibly the best developer site in the world (php.net)
drawbacks:
comparitively slow when doing a lot of processing.. erm... that's really all I can think of..
