As Bryan pointed out, some headlines have been misleading, but Yahoo!,
as a company, is in-fact adopting PHP.

I've been in contact with M. Radwin, and to the best of my knowledge,
Yahoo! is based primarily on yScript and additional technologies,
developed inhouse and in C/C++.  They are looking to use PHP's
extensibility by C, and integrate yScript with PHP as a framework for
daemon, OS and external communication.  As Yahoo! engineers often do,
they know a good thing when they see it, and see that PHP's nativity to
C, manageable syntax, flexibility and a great development community,
offer a lot of value.
