I came across an israeli company two years ago that did this in php but its possible its home grown and proprietary. There is a reason why php is not the language of choice for nlp. Most nlp applications require performance and speed for common nlp computations. Php is not performant enough for doing any serious nlp. Python is a much better choice for a variety of reasons.
