PHP is used a lot. You will find most of the internet yelling at php but it improved a lot over the past years in terms of efficiency and features.
There are a lot of legacy projects that are built in PHP and there's a lot out there on the web regarding frameworks or composer packages to build awesome stuff with. PHP community is not growing fast anymore because it's not fancy and old (but not outdated). Pretty much every developer > 5y of experience had done PHP in his carreer.
