I am writing an Android application that needs some online functionalities:
1- Should have registration and login page and save the users profile informations
2- Users can upload and download photo, video and sound.
3- Users can do online/offline chat together (Client to client chat I mean)

What I have tried:

I searched for it and found that I can use PHP/mysql for that. But as I use Json strings and there are some server side languages like Node.js that seems are more compatible with Json strings, I thought it's better to ask my question here from the experts!

I don't know much about server side programming and what I said above was only my guess!

This is hard to answer because the answer is you can use any server side language that supports being called as a service (which is how I presume you are doing it.)

C# can do it. PHP can do it. If you already have experience with either of those then start with it. There are others too but C# and PHP are probably the most common.
