HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, etc?

[webdesign]

How do you know which 'Language' to choose?

what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

I want to create a website, with a shop, and a shopping cart, which would be most suited for this?
Thanks:irish:

Probably all of them. They all do different things. HTML is what creates the structure of a page. CSS tells the browser how to display that structure so that it looks how you want it. Javascript is a 'client-side' language that can make your website interactive and PHP is a 'server-side' language that runs on your server and can do stuff like update and query databases.

Don't re-invent the wheel, there are loads of good stores out there you can download and install. No need to build one yourself.
