I would probably recommend going with PHP as it is one of the easiest server-side languages to learn. As others pointed out, JavaScript is omnipresent and picking it up after you got some basics down with PHP is fairly easy.
To get a hold of Java requires more time (it's forcing you to think in objects rather than just going ahead in scripting) and you will probably see less results as with Python, Perl or PHP.
If you have someone to help you out (to answer questions and set up some development environment etc.) in any of the languages above, I recommend going with that. It will have a huge impact on your progress and motivation.
