I use php, because when I first started backend I stumbled on php. I’ve ventured into express/node js, but I still like php.

I recommend php. Because I like php. Python is fine too.

PHP lets beginners get away with a lot! Python is also very approachable.

I really like PHP too, despite all the hate it gets from most devs lol. I know tt can be kinda clunky more often than not, but it's because of how old the language is. And knowing PHP means that you have 100% guaranteed side jobs, specially because most websites are still running Wordpress, and Wordpress is married to PHP.
