Hello; learning PHP is definitely worth it. Many websites and web applications were built using PHP. Many websites are still built using PHP/SQL for the backend. I think it would be a good investment to learn both, although I am partial to PHP. When building a proper web application it is common to see both used together in the same project!

Good luck on your academic and professional journey.
