Actually php is useful in exactly one scenario: I have developers that only know php. Php was useful when people were doing MVC monoliths. Nowadays people turn to spa and fast microservices. I can't think of a scenario where I would choose php off the bat when given a choice of backend platforms. I worked in php for 18 years now and for the past 5 I've mostly migrated php monoliths to (micro)services in one of go,node,rust or elixir.
