Flash and PHP not Flash VS PHP

Experienced Members,
Do you have time to give your opinion and rationale on Flash and PHP. I was listening to a student at one of our local colleges tout the wonders of Flash. Many of the things he said everyone already knew but his point I know was to grind an ax. When he got to the topic of job searches he made the statement that PHP is dying and Flash is the only way to go if you are going to be looking for employment.
His fellow classmates did let him know that without HTML it is impossible to put Flash on the internet and the PHP like other programming languages for the web, allows Flash to communicate with the server. They raked him for the next 3 class sessions in their own way.
Can I ask for your insight so the class can resume on a natural course and so this kid does not go into the work world with the wrong ideas.
His ax to grind started because he did not want anyone to know that he was unfamiliar with a term or process know as FTP. From what I am told if you consider yourself a developer for the web that is the first thing you need to know. Is this true? Will someone who does not know how to FTP be able to be hired in today's market?
