  Old  What to learn after php?

I have really enjoyed learning php. I'm still putting everything together but wanted to know what would be the next best language to learn to compliment the skills that Im learning?

Do you know SQL and javascript? If you don't know SQL, you probably don't know PHP well enough to learn a complimenting language.

Javascript is useful for ajax, it really makes your apps run smoother.

Agree with "Village Idiot".
If you don't know SQL or any database language, you only able to code an HTML site.
Anyways I pretty sure you've learn PHP and MySQL at the same time, right?

I recommend honing your HTML / XHTML / CSS skills for one, working on your OOP/patterns knowledge, and really adopting some MASSIVE sized projects - it will likely show you how much your skill really lacks, on grounds that massive projects require much better organization, etc.

Ruby is always an option, of course. Not much for a complement though. Perhaps you should run with some UNIX administration knowledge (bash scripting, general admin), Perl, or database stuff.

Really depends. Assuming you know HTMl and such I'd personally look at MySQL and Javascript

I agree with wesleyh - learn Ruby on Rails.

However, i found it easier first to learn a PHP framework, such as Zend, to get a feeling of how the MVC (Model - View - Controller) relationship works in Ruby on Rails.

Why RoR? Ruby is a fairly obsolete language (rails is a framework).
