Belisarius is on a distinguished road
PHP is an easy to learn language, and will expose you to many aspects of programming, but it can also encourage bad habits because it's designed to be easy for people from very different backgrounds to work with. I'd honestly say a solid understanding of C/C++ gives you the best background for programming, but that doesn't mean that starting with PHP is a bad idea - just realize that you're being coddled to some extent.
