You've got that the wrong way round. Having said that, this particular app could be written in PHP but you wouldn't have all the modules to help you out. Plus the fact that this is executed in the background using cron. Not many hosts have the PHP executable installed that allows you to run php scripts standalone. In fact many people don't even know that you can run php scripts as standalone programs.
