As mentioned by Nick Halstead, the results are in from the poll for the "Most Influential Programmers" list that he put together, including a PHP name in the top five.

About a month ago I posted my Top 10 most influential programmers which caused a bit of a stir. So I then followed it up with an online poll which I said I would run for a month. The time is up and the final results are in.

Coming in at fifth place is Rasmus Lerdorf of PHP fame (topped by the likes of Linus Torvads and Alan Turing). As Nick mentions, though, it was interesting to see that Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans only received a handful of votes.
