Also, not a single server side client is as well supported as PHP. Take a look at the documentation on functions and such. It is so massive and amazing (with examples) it will blow your mind.

Definitley go with PHP. It's syntax is very similar to C so it's a good choice for you since you have C++ experience.

All good resources, I normally just refer to php.net as a reference now that I'm more experienced. The other two have simple easy to follow tutorials so they're great for beginners

I write PHP and MySQL code for a living but I'm new to the new stuff that most of the industry has moved toward such as MVC. I'm attempting to learn the Yii framework but I'm about to pull my hair out. I also have a tendency to overcomplicate things.

As BajaBob said javascript is a whole new can of worms, but jQuery does make a lot of things simpler. I've learned a lot more about javascript by using the javascript debugger in the Google Chrome browser. Firefox has the firebug plugin which operates similar, maybe even better.

All of these resources rock. I'll have to get one of these debuggers, I have always done it the old fashioned error popup/print statement way.

Everyone in this thread is wrong. Just download an app that does this shit already or pay some fucking internet newbie $50 on craigslist to do it. Why waste the time and effort on minutiae.
