Some requests have been because people don’t know how to do the same things in Node.js as they do easy in PHP, and other requests have been because they need to work together with other teams who only program in PHP.
Since you can run PHP on the command line, and Node.js can easily exec programs through the command line, it’s very much possible.
What are the benefits?
Easy collaboration across teams with different knowledge
PHP is really good at throwing fast scripts together
No need to run several servers if both Node.js and PHP are needed
Drawbacks
More possibilities for security breaches
Not very good performance
Easy to shoot yourself in the foot
If you already know PHP and are learning node, you will probably have a tendency to program the “hard” things in PHP, thus not learning the node way of doing it.
Thank you.

Yah, nodejs is strong and i love it more than PHP,
Offers more tools with npm and easy to deploy,
Plus Nodejs peformance is better than php’s,
The problem is most of hosting services does not offer nodejs hosting which is not advantage.
Also Reactjs is good choise, you can create app with Reactjs + Nodejs as backend server or use php and its gonna be awesome modren script pack
No doubt that nodejs popular and strong than php, But,
PHP is used with traditional or relational databases to the likes of MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Though there are ways to use NoSQL databases with PHP, doing so is not so frequent in the industry.
Though Node.js works fine with SQL databases, the trend is shifting towards using NoSQL databases, such as CouchDB and MongoDB.
PHP versions prior to v5.4 required downloading and setting up LAMP and XAMPP servers. However post that, PHP comes bundled with an inbuilt development server.
Node.js, on the other side, comes prepackaged with core modules, including the file system, HTTP, and DNS. These help in developing customized web servers.
Node.js features a wide variety of frameworks. Derby, Express, and Meteor are some of the most popular frameworks used with Node.js development projects. Additionally, new frameworks for Node.js are coming out every now and then.
There is a galore of great PHP frameworks available to ease and hasten web development. These frameworks assist in building agile, robust, and secure web applications.
