Hi,
I'm planning to make a website but am not sure based on which platform whould I use it. I mean java looks promising but there are so many technologies within java that I'm confused about which one to use.
Among JSP, servlet and PHP which one can be used to create a complete functionality of a website? Is there some other language that I haven't mentioned?

it would depend upon which webhosts are you planing to use, most webhosts does not support servlet
You can use plain html,php,jsp
you can also learn flash programming

I suggest you start with php and start with an existing open source package and expand upon it. phpnuke and Joomlya are just two.
Java is a more powerful language, but with more power comes greater complexity. If I were going to make a personal site with Blog, forums, and some basic information from a database, I'd use PHP. If I was writing a data intensive site that produced hundreds of complicated custom reports on the fly, I'd use Java. If my project had to be maintained by thirty programmers from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and had to be built in independent modules I'd also use Java. But for a personal site, with most of the community features, I'd focus on a quick language.

Based on the way your question is phrased, I would recommend starting out with PHP. It's easy to get started with this language given the large number of hosting companies that support PHP and the existing base of applications.
Maybe you don't need to code at all to begin with; maybe a PHP CMS such as Drupal will get you most of the way there and you can build custom modules as required. In any event, unless you already have extensive experience with Java I would steer clear of it as its usage will likely lengthen your development time for a web application of simple to moderate complexity.

They're all good in some aspect...
We're talking about server-side scripts here...
I personally choose PHP, it's powerful, and the most popular among those u named and best of all, u can host it on Linux servers so it's cheaper to implement...
Yes there are other languages like ASP
