For web apps, PHP is still a great candidate. Check out Laravel or Symfony. It's not like the old days of PHP files mixed with procedural code. Although those were good days :)
- alerighi 4y agoI don't look at them for one reason, to me the great thing of PHP is the fact that is super easy and fast to add some dynamic generation to a mostly static website. By using a framework I can as well go to Next.js, for example. The thing is that PHP is unbeatable for doing simple stuff, for example a simple contact form in a website, or a page where you have to book slots, and similar stuff like that, since you add a few PHP instruction to the site, upload it to a webserver, enable PHP that is super easy to install, and done. Need to do a modification? You can connect through SSH to the server and edit the PHP files in /var/www with vim, no need to compile, have a build system, restart services, nothing like that!
