    I'm a little confused about all this ...ML languages.
    Can somebody explain me in a few words what are they used for ?
    What should I learn after HTML ? XHTML, DHTML, XML, or maybe just PHP ?
    Does DHTML and PHP have the same purpouse (building of dynamic web pages)
    so basicly I don't have to learn both ? Thanks for any help

    All the three are used for web development. Xhtml is advanced version of HTML, defined as an XML Application.

    No.DHTML and php both are different. Php is a programming language.
    Php is the best tp create dyanim pages. you can also use .net Framework,
    My SQl Server, etc...

    > XHTML is just "HTML 5". It's a more structured version of HTML

    No, it isn't: it's simply a different way or representing the
    _same_structure_. The DOMs of <p/foobar/ and of <p>foobar</p> should be
    exactly the same: they're simply different ways of saying the same thing.

    HTML, an initialism of HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages.

    The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax. Call it a bridge to XML.

    The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages.

    Dynamic HTML, or DHTML, is a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated web sites by using a combination of a static markup language (such as HTML), a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript), a presentation definition language (such as CSS), and the Document Object Model.

    PHP is a computer scripting language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages. It is for server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications.

    Confused yet?
    Don't feel bad most people are.
    Look at it this way, there are many tools for your use, dedending on your needs and requirements.
    Java and Javascript are easy to learn and are used on the client side (your browser) to create special effects. A little Java goes a long way. Don't over do it and the person view must have Java turned on in their browser.

    php will take a lot more time to master, but is very powerful and should be used to process items on the server keeping the info safe.

    Xhtml I can say redefined html in which we have to do everything in a particular order because the rules are set.
    And dhtml is a combination of html and css. Dynamic HTML provides more control over the HTML elements and lets them to change at any time, without going back to the Web server.

    My personal recommendations for what you should learn are in this order:

    1. learn how to create web pages with HTML and then learn how to make your HTML code XHTML W3C standards compliant

    2. learn how to add styles and to layout your web pages using CSS

    After that, if you want to create dynamic web pages I would learn PHP and and then PHP and MySQL

    Then you can move on to learning XML, Javascript/Ajax and move on from there :)
