Question

Do you Think it's a good option to learn PHP today? Or recommend others like asp.net, node. js, dart, etc?

Answer 2

While PHP is widely used it's popularity is dropping somewhat, probably due to the ability to use JS and it's frameworks on the server.

Answer 3

Yes. It is widely used, simple to learn. Of course, it depends on what type of application you have to make. If you have to create web apps, web-sites working with database, then it would be a great choice.

Answer 4

With introduction of PHP 7, the language is now faster, better, more secure than ever. While many predicted that php will die, it hasn't. Most of the web is in php and WordPress, so if your path is web development, PHP is your go to language.

For software development, PHP is not widely used and the companies are shifting towards nodejs.
That said, some companies still use PHP, and in my personal view, it's still a very good language to learn.
