depends if you want to do it for a job, and what the local interest is in your choice of language. I learned PHP in 2003, and haven't regretted it since. There are quite a few PHP jobs here, and I like the culture that this language brings - unlike ASP.NET which is very corporate. So yeah, use what makes you happy, PHP is a great start into a lot of other languages as it isn't as intense as others.
