would vote for python, others might vote for RoR.
But I found the following (my own observations)
PHP does not enforce good programming techniques. Hence a lot of
programmers tend to write ugly code that is hard to maintain.
Python forces you to write neater code, but if you are bad, it can't help
It depends on where you want to run your server and for what purpose.
Java might require higher resources to start with, but can scale to a
huge data center.
Recently Twitter moved away from RoR , because it wasn't scalable
enough. Facebook wrote their own PHP pre-compiler to make their pages
faster (scale up).
Finally, I would prefer anything that separates logic from
presentation (MVC / MVC2).
Choose something that you are already comfortable with. Stick to
standards and make sure that there is a community to support you.
Learn programming basics first and be very clear about it. This is the
most important part. Programming basics is language independent.
