yes you should stop doubting.

in 1999 i switched from ASP to PHP due to jobchange. and despite many people told me php is no good, it has always served me well.
With php 7+ both security and speed are drastically improved.
Especially composer has been a awesome addition to php. And now, with frameworks like laravel, symfony or api-platform - php is my primary choice.

Right now, i whip up a API in minutes. For frontend i use react.

So i see no reason to doubt php - or go lengths to learn something new.

Stuff you definatly need to checkout which makes php a wonderfull thing:
Composer,SlimFramework,Symfony,Laravel,Doctrine,Api-Platform and swoole.
