Important Web Languages?
Okay I like designing templates and I can code in HTML and throw in 2 simple PHP scripts for easy navigation and such.
But my question is, what are the most important languages to know?
HTML is obvious, im guessing PHP is next, then what else?
Also, can anyone recommend any good sites to learn PHP right from the beginning?

Learn CSS too - and look at XHTML rather than HTML.
Not sure about good sites for PHP from the off, though google is usually useful for specific queries and of course php.net has a lot of useful info.

My cousin asked me this same question a few weeks ago and I told him "I think it totally depends on what you want to do."
...But to define a very broad category:
PHP (for dynamic server side scripting)
XHTML (data format)
CSS (presentation)
WAP/WML (for wireless devices)
XML/SOAP/RDF/RSS (data formats/protocol often used for syndication and other things)
I believe SVG and WDDX can become very useful in the future.
Apache directives for .htaccess
ECMAScript (client side scripting)
JSP (for dynamic server side scripting)
SQL (for database querying)
One or many of those languages can be important depending on what you do.

I would do it like this, even in this order:
HTML (not XHTML, it's just for more integration to XML but it's not like we need it, SGML is going to be the next HTML I think, w3 says so)
CSS (good addition to HTML. It'll help you style your site up)
JavaScript (Good intro to PHP, very similar syntax. On top of that very helpful, active scripting is fun!)
PHP (Preferred over perl, easiest to learn IMO of the web programming languages [not scripting languages like html and css and js])
Then I would try to go with like Java for more advanced programming for the web.
