I don't think this project is properly leveraging PHP's advantages. PHP code's ability to be run on almost any server with Apache is a big plus, but this project requires a JVM. It's different enough from PHP that the plethora of PHP programmers will need to learn a new language, which is another hurdle. It's not backwards compatible so existing PHP code will need to be rewritten. In fact, it looks very different from PHP except for the intended use of the PHP library, which is one of PHP's weakest points.
The project has a lot of great ideas but I don't think branding it as a PHP derivative is one of them.
