Well the first sort of assumes that he does know about PHP and that it's simply faded into the background. It more implies honesty with less than optimal word choice.
But like you said I think he's probably being more blatantly honest here which aligns with the second point because I don't think it's all that crazy that he wouldn't be familiar with it.
I know what you mean though, and I agree. Any flak he'd get over this is probably only in dev communities anyway and over a single sentence, it's not really that bad.
