If you are a newbie and do not know much about programming and want to learn any application programming language, we recomend you to learn something else because PHP does web and it is great at that. If you want to become a great web-designer then learn PHP.
At the end, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, and PHP are similar programming languages. They are all dynamically typed, usually interpreted, and largely follow an imperative programming style. Functionally, what that means for you is that a high percentage of the concepts and techniques that you learn in one will pretty much map directly over to another one. Things like control flow, conditionals, and object oriented concept will translate freely between the different languages.
