Hi. I'm looking for suggestions on what to learn next. I've learned HTML, Javascript, PHP. What should my next language be?

Learn SQL so your website can use a database like PostgreSQL.

Doesn't everyone just use an ORM nowadays?

If I'm using raw SQL, I'm probably doing something hacky/shady.

If you're just doing basic CRUD stuff that doesn't need to scale, sure. Even then IMO it's a good idea to understand the underlying database queries.
