do you think i need to learn php after learning JavaScript?

That very much depends if you want your website to be in php or html. Php is regarded as being superior to html and is needed if you are going to connect your website to a database. You don't need to learn javascript to build a website. Furthermore... javascript is not popular with the search engines if you want a good ranking. Most search engines cannot even read javascript. I only use it for gimmicks. There are heaps of little javascript programs on the Internet which you can download for free and just incorporate them in your page. If you want to learn php... that would be a very good thing. Learning CSS is another good thing and it is not too difficult. But there is no point to learn anything before you know html. Php is an add-on to html. So is CSS. But best of all... buying a program like Dreamweaver will do most of the work for you and at the same time will help you to understand html, php and css. As Dreamweaver automatically create the codes for you... you can learn by example... like I did. I did build my first website 10 years ago without knowing what html was. I did it with FrontPage and three years later I switched to Dreamweaver.

HTML, CSS, and ASP are basic to learn java script. You could not understand the abc of java scripting up till the moment you do not follow these languages.

Php is much advanced than html so after you already know html and include javascript and css and then you may proceed to php as you may get things to mindled up by being more complex and complicated. So i suggest you to go clearly and planfully.

You should. Although almost all programming languages have the same logic, you should learn the format of each. JavaScript and Php are both essential for making a website and it's really an advantage if you know more programs, we never know when we will need it. At least you are well equipt with programming skills.

hi, i studied both , but in the opposite order , but i really recommend you learn php too! when you already learned a scripting language you cant have many problems with learning php too , its just some other syntax , but the main thinking stays the same , so plz , learn it:) its very usefull for data stream , aswell to a database as to keep info while a user is online. greetings

PHP is a great language to learn. It has a lot of attributes that make it fast and secure but also giving it a lot of flexibility to do what you want it to do. I've been working with PHP for a number of years now and it's always been very accommodating to me. It's also brilliant to work JS and PHP together with web applications to create the ultra-dynamic effect. With the way web is going in 2.5 and 3, it's set to be a language that will still be around in 10 years time. I wouldn't say you *have* to learn PHP although it is highly recommended. Most open-source projects are developed in PHP as well as it being the most common server-side language available to clients (thats if you wish to take the business route). It's also rather simplistic in it's syntax layout so is easy to pickup (especially after other languages like C# and C++). I'd advise you checked your server compatibility however and make sure it is ready with the latest version of PHP as you do not want to be in the stone-age with PHP4! If you decide not to go down the PHP route I'd advise checking out Ruby on Rails which is slowly growing in popularity. I've not read to much into it myself yet however it does look very interesting and worth a browse.

Actually the steps you should take is to have an extensive knowledge in (x)HTML and CSS or just (x)HTML because HTML is the main structure of every web site without it you can view into any Webpages on the internet. Learning Javascript would be a good foundation in learning PHP because both are based from C programming with is the foundation of both Java and PHP script languages.
