I'm definitely a PHP fan as well. In fact, I switched to PHP after *trying* to implement my former employer's
website with ASP, and found that not only was IIS the shittiest web server I'd ever worked with, but ASP/VBScript was a pain to program with. After the site continued to suffer crashes and random MS SQL outages, I threw in the towel and convinced my boss to let me re-implement the whole damn thing from scratch on Linux with PHP/Apache. Best decision I ever made.
Moral: It's never a mistake to know how to program in multiple languages, and PHP is a good one to know. Check out
www.w3schools.com for a really good tutorial to get you started.
