If you compare any language in the market regarding web application PHP is the best. Why?
-To start development you only need XAMPP and any editor.
-If you know dev patterns you could dev your own architecture for your project otherwise you could use a framework. Even if is "server side" development code in .php its simple to reuse comparing react you should put the Html code as output of a method it is very confuse like was "Servlet" in java. Try to change something, the process is very complex thats why appears "Devops"
-Instead use npm and "10" understables files in xml for config everything, in PHP you dont have it, just dev.
-After dev, to install it? just copy into the server and works, dont need CI/CD a lot of effort with npm, move and change those 10 files.. etc.. amazing as Engineer I don't believe how we do complex things instead of simplified.
-All hosting has PHP installed as part of apache linux centos, you dont need expensive ones because need other capacity or capability like npm installed

Remember PHP is going to be the best Languague ever and in the future will rank first place.
