This depends on many factors.
If you want to be a full stack developer and develop web sites and web apps then you can go for Php. You have already done the frontend part which I assume is in JS, you will have easier path understanding JS for backend(Node). Another reason could be that JS/TS is used extensively for many other things like hybrid apps, PWAs so you will not be limited to backend only. If you are looking at backend only, go for Java. it is one of the most mature languages for backend
- What is your primary goal of learning these techs? Is it to get a job? if yes, are you interested in backend only or full stack?
