being a senior backend developer in PHP I will recommend learning the core concepts, develop APIs , design databases.

In context to your question, mostly the flow is backend provides restful APIs and frontend calls (consumes) those APIs.

Once you are sure about backend and feel confident in core PHP, then and only then learn a MVC framework, laravel is popular nowadays. Can learn slim as well to start quick and easy

Do learn atleast some frontend as the opportunities will always require either knowledge of frontend or deep knowledge of backend.

So either, reactjs or data structures and algorithms
