There's no reason why you can't learn both. It will give you insights into the differing philosophies and pros and cons of both.

C#. Can program both Win and Web apps.

PHP you cannot.

That's like saying he has to use a Corolla because it can go both slow an fast and a fscked up busted old Datsun cannot.

...oh wait. Nevermind.

26% I'm sorry I also get confused by which one is WordPress.

PHP runs WordPress, WordPress runs 26% of the top 10 million websites as of April 2016

Had you provided context (top million, sites tracked by x etc.) I don't see what was wrong with your first answer most likely taken from a place (Treehouse?) that uses w3techs or Acunetix as a source, you then back that up with an even worse metric (WordPress). I think it's a meaningless metric anyway in the context of this question (OP does not even seem to know what he wants to do). If PHP is the easiest server side language to learn (and get started with), and its the most popular language used in off the shelf script like CMS's (for the people that don't know PHP) then it will most have the most sites online powered by it.
