Thank you Joe ! I completly agree ! I heard these things but most of people telling that PHP is dead are also the least pragmatic people.
PHP is a language with a nice environment and the last updates made PHP great again.

I never saw an SPA with amazing scores on Google PageSpeed Insight. With PHP I can choose my frontend and follow best practices here too.

JavaScript is really good too but can I launch a product if the framework I chose become deprecated or unpopular in the next 5 years ? That is the question the most part of people forget. We can't migrate from a framework to an other so easily and without consequencies.

(french here, sorry for my english).

Have a good day !

Definitely! The security of PHP is something that makes for a really great business choice in terms of longevity - PHP isn't going anywhere, and the frameworks are strong! Very cost-effective and scalable.

Amazing English, by the way :) Thanks for your opinion. I love seeing insightful views 😁
