I agree with PHP.

However, you can't compare PHP with JavaScript (NodeJS) in the server side. PHP works, Javascript does not work well (and most companies doesn't even care to make it work).

For example, who even dare to use ExpressJS? or vanilla nodejs?. Why?

a) the support of nodejs and database is lacky at best, and there are some cheap connectors and nothing more. PHP has full supports of database, including libraries compiled in c and c++.

It is the reason why most companies use in tandem javascript and c#/php/java
