Hello,

could someone help me with some things?

First of all, I'm making a website. Nothing special. But which programming languages should I know/use? I already have (X)HTML and CSS. But, I also want to be able to have users/clients register and get an activation e-mail. After that, ofcourse, being able to log in with the input information.

I'd like some top recommended languages to use/learn. Which is why I'm already using (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Regards and thanks in advance,

~ Ralph.

P.S. Perhaps I created this thread in the wrong board, but I couldn't find the right one.

PHP is probably the first to look at. SQL will come into play sooner or later as well.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

You should learn a server-side language such as PHP, ASP, Perl or Ruby (the most popular ones). I'm partial to PHP. You'll also need to learn how to interact with a database so SQL is a must.

PHP and SQL. Bear in mind that you will need a hosting package that includes MySQL databases if you want to use a database or two in your website.

I agree with the above, although you might also want to build some front-ends in AJAX

AJAX isn't a programming language.

He meant to say:

"I agree with the above, although you might also want to build some front-ends using JavaScript and make asynchronous calls to the server."
