Wow, the people here stuffing down JS down your throat is staggering. This is what truly separates the juniors from the seniors: those that tout you shouldn't be using X language in today's day and age are really limiting their career progress.
PHP is at a turning point where with the new JIT compiler, it now has an opportunity to break out of its web shell and go into other fields like ML, data science, maybe even game development. I highly recommend trying PHP with all the improvements it recently had.
That being said, don't bash JS either. Yes, like PHP, it has flaws, but those that hate it usually end up having a bad time with debugging because they did not properly write or test their code. Learn to get past those differences and you can write good JS.
Point is, learn any language you want for back end. Stop fighting over petty things like what language or framework to use. Learn your fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, app architecture and so forth. Those are the things that matter. Don't let the trolls bring you down with their petty arguments (looking at you @lukeshiru
). Learn good coding practices and you will be on your way to a successful career
