Not exactly true php might not be your best choice for back-end dev but the fact that there is so much php application that are running on the web gives a php developer a great chance in finding work.

I don't know much about PHP, but two main reasons why I don't want to learn PHP are:

PHP is the easiest learning code on the web. I learned a little bit of php when I was in 6th Class.. Php can make some awesome automation, programmable things that you can't even imagine. Many site's are using php to create web application, plugins, online software. Thus, a large amount of site are depending upon php language.

Answer 11

Maybe because of node.js(another back-end lang) and technological support from many organisations - like google.
But PHP Is still a good choice for back end

Answer 12

The thing is that PHP was once one of the best languages to learn to work at the server level. In fact, it was considered to be one of the pre- requisites for hackers. But it was slowly found that PHP based databases were very easy to hack with a bunch of encryption and decryption techniques. Slowly, websites moved to databases constructed in C/C++, Python etc. because the security of data wasn't compromised with these. Other than databases, now the hacking world is also moving towards Python and Perl. But if you want to learn it, go for it... After all learning is of no harm at all.
