The "PHP-like" phrase probably comes from the linuxfordevices.com authors,
who decided to link this news item with an older one, which mentions Lua.
This linking attempt produced the confusion:

---:<---
and the language has been extended by Real-Time Logic (RTL), the developer
of the Barracuda web server and BarracudaDrive application server, with its
Lua Server Pages (LSP) technology
--->:---

So Lua suddenly became PHP-like, because it was used in some product, which
is remotely PHP-like.
