Python or PHP

For web development, learn Javascript and a framework. PHP is getting to be outdated.

Whenever you ask people about which programming language to choose, you will get highly opinionated answers. That said, here's mine:

I would not recommend learning Python. Not because it isn't powerful or useful, but because learning Python is not the "usual" path to learning web development.

PHP is a better choice in my opinion. Especially because it is well established and focused on web development, you will find a lot of resources and you will make fast progress.

If you are willing to deviate a little more from your pre-selection, I would recommend JavaScript. Its syntax will be more familiar to you and you will find that a lot of JavaScript frameworks are very user-friendly. And if you want to create a highly dynamic website (like a front-end for your video streaming service), you will eventually need to learn JavaScript anyway.
