It sounds like you haven't really moved much beyond googling for code snippets to solve specific problems. Work through one of the above books so you pick up some vocabulary and get introduced to a range of concepts.
A lot of the other comments are overly ambitious with their suggestions. Start small and learn Ruby or Python. I recommend staying away from frameworks such as Rails because of the high overhead of required knowledge that won't really benefit you as a programmer in general.
- fantnn 13y agoI completely agree, most people I've ever encountered asking "What to learn next" don't really understand what they think they know. There are 100 different directions you can go from if you actually had a decent understanding of php/html/css; exploring the PHP source code, learning more about the network protocols that http/https requests operate on top of, web application security and security in general, browser implementation of css rendering/javascript engines/sandboxing, all of these things are natural extensions of web development, and are really just the tip of the iceberg.
