What language is the best to learn?

you sent $160 on BOOKS? man your insane

Yea I did and It feels weird me paying for books I just hate html though it doesnt look professional. If I see a webpage that has pages like index.htm I think pfff not professional but if I see index.php etc.. I think hmmm time and effort has gone into that

What on earth? There is a big difference between html and php, for one php is a programming language and the reason a site would have .php is because it has a script within it (whether it's an order form or pulling something from a database etc).

Not always, you can code sites in php without functions

What would be the purpose though? To look better?

No its not pointless, You can use:

<?
include 'header.php';

Which means to update a site its a whole lot easier

i have used php to code a standard site before but only so i could use includes for the menus as the links were constantly changing. . . then i installed a news script so it had to php nayways

I use PHP alot, and i mean alot. In all my sites, i have PHP.
