The most popular server side scripting languages are PHP, PERL, and ASP (and ASP.NET)
You can do almost anything with any of them, it's just which flavor you prefer.
PHP and ASP embed commands within the HTML page that are executed by the server so it's easy to add a little dynamic content to an existing site.
PERL is almost the opposite, you output HTML from PERL, you can embed HTML into PERL but it's much more difficult to convert an existing page.
PHP is open source and will run on any server, ASP is a microsoft technology that only runs under windows server.
ASP is very similar to visual basic, so is simple to pick-up if you know VB.
Generally Apache (Unix) hosting is cheaper than windows hosting so unless you need the windows environment the choice nowadays would probably be PHP.
The new Kid on the block is ruby, but isn't yet widely supported unless you have your own dedicated server to load it on.

Really any script language is usefull if you know what you are going to use it for. I mean no disrespect to vimkar, as he is entitled to his opinion, but php as with any script language really is useless if the server you are using doesn't support it. This is why I asked what you were wanting to do with it... what server support do you have... meaning what can you run? are you limited to just php? Or can you use any language and your server will handle it. If you just want to be able to alter the look of a page use xml and html. If you want to be able to do Database connectivity then you have different options. What you want to do and what choices you actually have ( support wise ) is what is really going to decide for you what you should be learning. Another thing that is going to influence the decision is are you a beginner or a seasoned programmer?
Myself I use ASP, JavaScript, DHTML, XML mainly because all the servers that I use are Windows Servers so it works well and there is no need for PHP or Perl (though knowing perl can help with expressions even in VBScript and JavaScript) since I can do it all without them.

ruby is a very powerful, popular server side scripting language. It can be secured but that depends entirely on the programmer. dont believe the guy who mentionned javascript, which is a client-side language.

its an oxymoron! powerful and secure and yet popular... if it was to develop fast and quick applications with some real flexibiliy, i'd say asp is good and its quite popular too.
PS: you can also use java script at the server end. Nobody said you can use it.Infact you use asp models with either javascript or vbscript syntax...

Go with Java. You can run it on both Windows or any Unix system, plus it's easy to learn. And the best thing is that, it is FREE.

asp, asp.net, jsp, php.
asp/asp.net belongs to microsoft. (proprietary)
jsp belongs to Sun microsystems (proprietary)
php - i don't really know to whom it belongs to, but I think it is free/libre software.
So ultimately your perception about which to use (free or proprietary version) is your choice...
