IMO, it doesn't matter if your goal is to have a business. What matters is the problem you are going to solve and how solving that problem turns into money.
On the other hand, if your goal is to learn another programming language or improve your programming skills or learn a web framework, then it's really just a matter of personal preference...so again, it doesn't really matter.
Finally, if your goal is to get a job, there are lots of them for PHP. Some for RoR, some for Python, and probably not all that many for Flask.
