What to learn after php?

Java most certainly does not take college to learn.....

Thats on what i was told. i looked at a few Java scripts and they do look complicated.

I know some java, lots of C/C++ (which is harder) and a large assortment of other languages (I can name 8 or 9 off the top of my head). It is complicated, but college is not necessary. Whoever told you that did not know what they were talking about.

Go for Rubby on Rails. It seems like the latest trend in web oriented programing

The languages you want to learn depends on what you plan on doing. For instance, it was mentioned that Ruby is an obsolete language but not if your intend to get into security research. The Metasploit framework is all done in Ruby.

So decide on what field you want to get into and learn the languages that you need as a requirement to be in that field.

try some php framework like symphony, cakephp it's more easily way to programming the website or may be you can try OOP programming. that different from procedure programming.

Google "OOP" and see what comes up. If I were in your situation I'd learn Ruby, only because it seems to be the "hot" language that's popping up on the web every now and then (PHP will stick around for at least 5-10 more years). If you want to be a proficient developer you need to learn what you think will sell five years from now.

You can never stop learning PHP... whether its OOP, CMS, databases, API, ect.
But if you must learn another language I would go with Javascript. Once you've learned Javascript you will whiz through learning JQuery and AJAX.

I'm assuming you already know (X)HTML and CSS?
