I reflect PHP and HTML are excellent to know because they’re universal languages and useful for what you’re trying to do.
An aspiring programmer, web or desktop, should learn programming (not any programming language) first. Start with http://www-ancient.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf
Next simplest is PHP. Then you’ll need Javascript. (If you’re production with databases, you’ll also need SQL.) You should also learn the technique known as AJAX if you want your pages to work like apps, and not reload an entire page every time a word or two changes.
You’ll also need HTML (for the make lucky of the page) and CSS (for the look of the page). They’re languages, but not programming languages.
