It's 2019 and PHP is *still* teaching people to concatenate SQL and vaguely-sanitized user input instead of using prepared statements. http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.examples-basic.php … They got rid of the mysql module... only to teach people to use mysqli the same way. This is why SQLi isn't going away.

PHP is easy to get started with, but *very* easy to find terrible advice for, and learn poor practices on. The web is full of absolutely terrible PHP examples. If you don't have a very compelling reason to use PHP, you might learn better with another language.
If you do stick with PHP, you're going to have to either quickly develop a sense of what's good vs bad advice (which is probably really difficult for a newbie), or accept that you're going to be accidentally making bad habits that you're going to have to unlearn later.

Other languages like Python 3 tend to have a higher baseline quality of examples on the web, and are better designed overall. I would recommend that. OTOH, if you want to develop on top of an existing PHP framework, then yeah, that makes sense.
