mwmurphy is on a distinguished road
I'd recommend getting books on PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS. You'll probably want to learn about Apache and Linux as well. These are only some of the technologies available - others do very similar things.

Here's a very cursory lay of the land:

HTML - tells the browser what text, links, and pictures to display
CSS - works with HTML to control the formatting of the text, links, and pictures
PHP - programming language embedded in HTML that allows your websites to be dynamic and process data
MySQL - database for storing and retrieving data (use PHP
Apache - the web server software that sends webpages to a browser
Linux - the operating system of the web - an alternative to Windows

w3schools is a good quick primer website
