Modern PHP frameworks work around the issue where the web server directly executes PHP files targeted by the request URL. They also provide nice abstractions that are battle-tested and secure. PHP is not my cup of tea (I can't be productive with the unintuitive function naming) but with a modern framework it can be proper. Laravel for example gives you a Django/Rails equivalent including task queues/etc, and becomes immune to the dumb vulnerability of uploading malicious PHP files in the media folder since all requests are routed through a single entry point rather than having the web server directly execute the PHP file.
