my frd, look if you want to learn PHP and become a professional web developer or a PHP trainer then you must have to learn following modules -
HTML
CSS
JavaScript - DHTML and DOM
PHP
MySQL
PHP with MySQL
AJAX
jQuery
CMS like Joomla or WordPress
My frd because PHP is a server-side scripting language embedded into HTML to create interactive and dynamic websites in quick time so it is must to have a good basic knowledge in HTML. If you don't know about HTML tags then tell me why can you put your PHP code in your HTML tags or elements.
Moreover you should have a basic knowledge in CSS. Because CSS is mostly used to give a good feel and look to your website. It is majorly used to create webpage layout using div. A webpage is usually divided into several sections like header, footer, left menu, workarea, and topmenu etc., then if know CSS then you can easily know where to put or include your .php file (external) into your page.
JavaScript is also a + point to give your website interactive and dynamic contents. It is used along with DHTML to change your page content on the fly. Also used for form validation.
MySQL is used to handle database. PHP in conjunction with MySQL are used to create database-driven website. I recommend you learn MySQL with MySQL console - dos screen. Because you mostly execute your MySQL query remotely to handle database from your PHP script. After then you can use phpmyadmin php based web tool to handle database and create database, table or alter objects.
AJAX and jQuery can also be used to enhance your website features. AJAX is used to amend your content on the fly without reloading or refreshing the whole webpage. No need to use a submit button, a mouse event is sufficient.
jQuery is built-in JavaScript library used to apply built-in functions of javascript with ease. Just include that library into your html page and write some code for those elements for which you want to apply the functions. All is done! Form validation also became easy using jQuery. Animation effects can also put in page using jQuery.
In the last, i recommend you learn some CMS like joomla. They are used for rapid web develpment with no programming skill at all. If you have programming skill then you can off course change CMS files and put your own content there. Like changing header, templates or creating plugins. But not go for CMS before learing above modules. In the company you will be learning more CMS and frameworks as company require.
Good luck your career and future. God bless you dear. Bye...

If you want to access PHP applications through a web browser, then you'll need to know HTML, because that is used to output information. You don't need to be an HTML guru, but basic understanding of it (and CSS) is neccesary. Try websites like w3schools.com and tizag.com for tutorials ;)

You don't need to know a CMS to know PHP.
I learnt HTML then PHP then CSS and then Javascript. I kinda worked out AJAX along the way.
Also you can live without JQuery while it does make coding faster most of the time I feel that its much easier to spend a couple of minutes throwing together your own code (probably less time than you would spend working out the JQuery function for it anyway).
Meh
PHP+HTML is all you need for starters, then basic CSS (so you can confidently Google any requirements), and Javascript once you finally decide to develop something big.
Learn PHP first as Javascript is pretty much just basic thinking in most websites (only occaisonally do they need to program and advanced multi-user canvas)

Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).
