Absolutely, it's still my go-to for building web apps.
I've had a (now) 7-figure ARR platform running happily on PHP/CodeIgniter since 2013, and create any new apps with PHP/Laravel.
Laravel's ecosystem and community is just terrific, and it's the perfect backend for VueJS which I increasingly use these days.
PHP just does what it says on the tin. It's easy to install and configure, has a great package manager in Composer, and the performance gains over the last few years have been superb.
