If you want to make it work in a browser any server side language should work, if you know PHP already then ya use it.
If it's not for the browser, PHP can work but another language may be easier.

Here's some PHP Game sites - some are open source scripts so you can see how they work etc.

Sure, PHP is fine for a text-based game, especially for the oh-so-popular text-based RPGs. I think most pet sites are written in PHP, as are most turn-based games.

PHP is a decent choice for a language if its web browser based, im currently working on my own web page based RTS in php/mysql which currently can be played, ive put about 3 months into it so far, and php has been able to do (with light javascript) everything that i would pretty much need, though after you become more familiar with PHP i would recommend getting some javascript or AJAX down to help

Yeah, doing something with AJAX is pretty much what you gotta do. That way it looks streamless.
Now, if you want something that REALLY screams use Flash with PHP .... that way you can track everything and have the great look to it.
