I am currently busy learning Javascript for web development but i’m also trying to decide which language to learn after Javascript. My question is, is it possible to change a text without opening your code studio, like changing a products price by an admin panel from the website. Or if i have a daily news section on my website and wanted to change the paragraph everyday without touching the code but change it from the website itself. What languages are required to do that? My thoughts are Sql, Mysql and Php, correct me if i’m wrong.

There are multiple ways to achieve this, most commonly people use Website Builders or Content Management Systems (CMS). Examples for CMS are Strapi and Payload, which allow you to manage your content without editing the code.
You could also build it yourself, the stack you mentioned with MySQL and PHP would work as you can query your db on the server and send back your "dynamic" HTML.
To change text on a website without editing code directly, you’d use server-side scripting like PHP and a database like MySQL. Admin panels allow updating content. SQL manages data, while PHP handles logic.
