What are the basic things you need to very-well code a web site?

I know HTML, and I'm getting a book on PHP.

Well, HTML or XHTML and CSS are the only things you need to code a webpage. ANything beyond that simply adds dynamic elements to your site.

And please, for your next post make an effort to come up with a more descriptive post subject as per the Posting Guidelines (http://www.codingforums.com/postguide.htm); "Code" will not do (2nd time around allready).

^My bad. >_>

I just bought a PHP book. Since I don't know anything about CSS yet, reading the PHP book will be useless?

Thanks.

To be able to create modern, standards-oriented sites, a good footing in (X)HTML and CSS 2.1 is essential; start with these first.

If you're interested in adding dynamic behaviour, JavaScript might be interesting; if you want to progress to sites dynamically serving managed content, PHP and MySQL may be a nice place to start since this combo is most used in personal and small business applications (larger business applications favour ASP, .NET, and probably Oracle or something).
