very much relies on what the programmer wants to do.

i sign up at careerbuilder for my field and area. i look at all the jobs posted that fit what i want, and glance at the requirments.

c++ and java are pretty standard.

I think that is completely true if you are into programming applications use C++ or Visual Basic, Visual Basic being for the new programmers.
For Web Programmers it would have to be HTML, and PHP. 70-80% of the sites on the internet are composed of one, if not both of those languages.

Dont know quite how you meant that, but to create the forum it uses quite complex PHP.

So, only PHP is required for this?

I haven't made a forum, but you will generally want something like ASP or PHP, along with a database such as MySQL. You store all the posts and user info in the database, and use PHP to pull information out of the database and handle the formatting.

Programming is a branch of mathematics.
