It depends, PHP does have the reputation for being the language of choice for low paid outsource quality jobs. Knowing it well can land you a lot more but I think you'd be on the right track with saying enterprise type Java/ c# stuff would on average get you more.

I would say that more outsourced jobs are done in Java/C# because they are "Enterprise" languages. In much of the tech world, PHP is viewed as a toy.
