Been thinking of building a simple analytics using PHP (API endpoint) to interact between the client-side (JavaScript) and the server-side (MySQL).

It’s mostly for personal usages on my projects, to have something a bit more adapted for my needs compared to the free options like Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity.

I know Matomo is built on PHP, but most web analytics are NodeJS based.

How good or bad is the idea to do something like that in PHP?
