I expect it's just because the creators of PHP just didn't think of it.
I can't find any comment on the topic in the only PHP manual.

Unlike C and Perl, which were actually DESIGNED and have a regular,
orthogonal and consistent syntax, PHP appears to have just grown like
Topsy, without any consideration of consistency or regularity (at least
in the early days, but then you have an installed base to remain
compatible with, so it's hard to fix the inconsistencies).

Cheers
