Why not? What do you think the TIOBE measures, and why would PHP not be
rising by that measure?

This seems to be a UK-specific trend; in the US (and most other
countries I know of) Java is still going strong, e.g.

Interesting that you are willing to trust your gut feeling against an
established survey. All indexes are flawed, they are merely flawed in
different ways is all. I track TIOBE because it shows trends. Python's
absolute position on the list doesn't interest me so much.
