What makes a project/webapp idea well-suited to PHP? It might be better to ask about your interests, your experience, etc.. Presumably you've branched off from coding basic CRUD apps into something more specialized; do you have expertise (and contacts, domain knowledge, etc.) you might want to leverage in a new project? Or do you want to start a side project to build more expertise in X?

What do you want out of this?

Suggestions for finding (and validating) ideas for new webapps/projects are all over; you might check into those.

though i agree with the comments that there's not really an idea restricted to php (jtheory) and your interests would be good to know (jtheory, dutchbrit), i throw in a wild idea as you didn't provide those…

an application in which you keep track of your fridge's content (throw a cam driven barcode scanner in there) and suggests meals to cook based on the lowest investment (stuff not in your fridge) taking into account the store closest to you (can throw a little location based feature) your favourite meals sorted desc based on a custom rating (client specific rating db?)…

should keep you busy for a while? B-)

thinking about some AI technologies like Natural Language interfaces, intelligent OCR scanners, video crawler with using machine vision .... etc

Well if you like working with natural language. As far as I know, nobody has ported Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK) from Python into PHP. I've ported small parts to suit my needs, but I am sure a lot of PHP developers would love having access to the whole thing directly.
