I guess Robert's idea is more like the "pypy" project for Python, which
is a fast Python interpreter written in Python.
So, there are examples of PHP interpreter/VMs written in PHP:

Hello Internals,
I saw someone mention writing PHP (the engine) in PHP and it got me
thinking, is there anything preventing PHP from being a self-hosted
language? I assume this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find
anything via Google or Externals.

Do you mean something like:
https://github.com/cubiclesoft/php-app-server
Or something more like Java which is written in Java? In that case,
maybe:
