    Definately not PHP, probably something more flexible/scalable such as Ruby on Rails.

    I doubt they use Ruby on Rails.. I've seen some videos of engineers working, and they are compiling programs, which leads me to believe it's some sort of C derivative. RoR and PHP have wayyy too much overhead for their purposes.

    They use Python, as far as I know.

    I've heard that new employees for Google NEED to know Python in order to work for them. So, I'm guessing most of it uses Python as far as I know.
