Good question. I have some pretty significant projects I wrote in PHP, but as soon as my knowledge was advanced enough and I had a fresh project that called for a framework... I skipped out on PHP and chose Django.
My relationship with Python hasn't worked out like I expected, though. Due to the ongoing PHP project, and use of a mixture of Python and PHP, my Python/Django skills still lag behind my PHP proficiency years later. I've written significant projects in Django, and started writing maintenance and utility scripts in Python... I can't figure out whether it's the languages or me, but I find it a lot easier to sit down and write a simple script in PHP vs Python.
I've considered selecting a PHP framework to learn, but am somewhat perplexed by the profusion of choices and inadequacies I perceive in the language and each framework (such as clumsy syntax, over-complexity, lack of support for newer php features...). Overall I'm still searching for a language/web framework combination to call home.
I feel like Wordpress has basically become a framework and should be included as a valid option. You can do just about anything with wordpress these days. It's the only PHP codeglob I've used significantly other than my home brewed non-framework framework.
