Use whatever you know the best (this will keep you productive)!

But if you're still curious, it depends on whether or not you want to do JAMStack or traditional server rendered web apps. If you are going to do JAMStack, just use serverless frunctions from any of the cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc). If you're looking at traditional server rendered web apps, honestly it just comes down to preference. Maybe don't do PHP though (unless you know it well!).

Use PHP! :D

If you are already familiar with it then there is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with using it. I said not to in case you were a beginner looking for a language to learn. For beginners I'd recommend newer languages because theoretically those languages will take longer to "go out of style" and thus they will be more marketable, etc in the long run.

The idea that you need the "greatest choice" is a fallacy and can cause you to waste a lot of time. Build using whichever platform you are most comfortable with!
