PHP is a good language... not good it is the best language when it comes to the web development, why I am saying that? Ok lets talk about why PHP is the best language for the web.
I saw developers making PHP as a dead language, when i ask them why? They told me that PHP is no longer using by big tech componies? Again i ask them is there is another reason that makes PHP a dead language? They said php is slower than others like node.
That is the way many junior developers and even some senior developers think about programming languages, they think if big tech componies dont use some languages then those languages are not great or even dead .. like humans die😅.
The leader of the web
As we know PHP powers almost 80% of the web, and if Iam not wrong that means php is the leader, king 👑, chief, president of the web.
PHP also powers the most popular CMS in the world Wordpress, and in my opinion wordress is best CMS I ever used, its suitable for developers and non-developers. Its easy to use, easy to customize. I think everyone who wanted to create or do something related to the web someday heard wordpress.
In my opinion PHP will not die soon or never becaus if PHP dies that means 80% of the web dies with it.
PHP Frameworks
If you look the frameworks, PHP has a great and popular frameworks like Laravel, CodeIgniter and so many others, if you are PHP developer i promise you will never die lack of frameworks, you will find the framework that suits your need.
PHP Community
PHP has also large great community on the internet if you have any problems related to PHP iam sure that you will find a solution to your problem.
When it comes to the deployment of your app to the internet i think there is no host provider that does not provide php enviroment.
Disclaimer
My point is not that php is better that other programming languages.
My point is PHP has a large influence when it comes to the web, and its not dirty or bad code language as many developere believe.
PHP is popular, easy and flexible programming language.
Finaly php wants to say.
<?php
echo "Hello world! Don't underestimate me";

PHP is a popular language for web development, but the web development landscape is diverse. Different programming languages and frameworks serve different purposes and meet different needs. It's important to note that web development environments have evolved significantly, with new languages, frameworks, and technologies emerging. Languages such as JavaScript, Python and Ruby, and frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django and Node.js are very popular and have strengths in certain areas. In summary, PHP remains a preeminent language for web development with its own advantages, but calling it the "King" of the web is not correct. There are many other languages and frameworks with their own positions and strengths. In web development - we have an ecosystem.
