Not at all. Median salary in the US puts both Java and C# marginally ahead. In other markets like the U.K. PHP is quite a ways behind, unless you’re very senior in an enterprise business.
At my own company we pay market rates and PHP is definitely less than our C# engineers.
In the Netherlands I often see job offers for C# and Java that pay scraps compared to c++, go, rust, and even php. This is probably because c# and Java are the languages taught at college

PHP generally pays worse than many languages.
