I'm sitting here with a PHP and MySQL for dummies book and my plan was to learn php in order to create simple input output applications. But now I'm questioning my choice, since I think I could easily do what I want already by modding other people's open source stuff. So what should I be learning after HTML and Javascript? Is PHP and MySQL the way to go or what?

Php and MySQL is getting more popular, so I would say yes.

Specify please. I think I'd probably want to do PHP before moving on to perl and ajax though, right?

PHP and MySQL require the least investment and are the most commonly used, so you may as well learn them.

Learning about Linux servers will help too, as most servers running PHP and MySQL run on Linux.

As for modding open source products that use PHP, you will need a fair bit of PHP knowledge to do much to them.

PHP definately, as your interests seem to lie in web programming.  And SQL is worth knowing regardless.

Learn the complete LAMP stack like the back of your hand, and C/Lisp if you've got time.

Linux [RedHat and Debian style]/ FreeBSD / NetBSD
Apache
MySQL / PostgreSQL / Oracle (If you can be bothered)
Perl / PHP / Python
C (NOT C++)
Lisp (Supposed to be brilliant for learning about programming, not really necessary)

Out of curiousity.

I'm hardly against C, but why teh aversion to C++?

And (I've heard much the same) is there any specific reason you suggest Lisp?
