Little typos happen, but just wanted to make sure. Is php really still in demand?

Laravel is super easy to deploy.
WordPress too.
It's the king of web dev and apis development.
Frontend you can do in JavaScript.

Think how many problems haven't been solved. If you train ideation daily, you'll have more ideas than you would ask for.
Most people fail with SaaS not because of ideas but bad execution and overwhelming themselves with technology.
Code literally just a lead squeeze landing page promoted via Google or Meta ads. If people buy, code it.

A lead squeezing landing page like a landing page with a form for subscription or something with their name, mail etc? The issue is always where to sell it. Also it takes a while to get any meaningful amounts, right?
Sorry for sounding dumb, but that's a new concept to me and I might not understand right.

It's about customer. If your target customer is using the platform of your choice, it's the right platform.
You can target people by keywords and their interests on Google Ads.
A meaningful information in this case is conversion rate. Once you have anything satisfying, repeat the process.

But my platform is to collect data, no? I don't follow.

There's really nothing in demand right now unless you're talking about very highly skilled seniors.

I find that hard to believe. It's the typical elitism you keep hearing since the early 2000s, and in hindsight we know, that that's not true.
There must be some valuable skills that people outsource that require a coding solution. Like webscraping or webautomations. I have done those before. There is a market.

If you are not typical talent in software, you 'd better find correct solution over learning programming.
I think outsourcing is more suitable for you.
And if you wanna learn any programming in spite of this, I recommend WordPress, wix, Webflow and etc as options of low-code or no-code.
if you have skill in this field, the top option is AI.

my other advice is to do what you like, not where m7much money or easy. if you don't know what you like, take special tests to help you choose a field. I've been working in seoshka for 8 years, I tried to create games, I tried to write telegram bots in python. and after trying everything, I realize where I can try myself in the future.

If you want to make Bots: Python if you want to focus on doing web stuff i would learn JS / PHP.
And yes PHP is STILL crazy in demand over 80% of the Web runs still on PHP..
According to Google:
"PHP is the most used server-side programming language on the web. In fact, 79.2% of all websites rely on PHP to some degree, making it one of the most popular languages among programmers and web developers due to its widespread use."

Okay. "Be yourself" and "do what YOU want to do" is not really helping me find what I want to do.
PHP sounds interesting then, if it's so in demand. Are there any specific use cases? I could sit down and learn PHP as a whole, but then what do I do with it? I'd be at the same point i am now; I taught myself python, now what do I do with it to earn money? If I sit down and learn PHP then soon I'd sit down and think again "what do I do with it do make some money?".

You are good with data/algos you could create crypto bots for trading, create a Social Brand around it and sell it to them.
For PHP its pretty simple - Build a Product that integrates into Wordpress for example a Plugin or a Service that is in high demand, ask for pain points in the WP Comunity then build.
Some people make a living by creating Niche SAAS Software that can integrate into Wordpress.

What are pain points? Is that like PITAs?
They do that with PHP, yeah? Might look into that then. I looked at PHP when I was twelve once, but IIRC it was quite complicated.
