I was trying to install mediawiki on a Vista machine using IIS. This is not supported by mediawiki and after hours of trying to make PHP and MySQL work correctly we encountered an syntax error in the mediawiki code. Most likely from incompatibility but nonetheless, we were all crouded around my machine looking at php code none of us knew how to read...
After trying to make a PHP installer for an open-source project I'm helping with, I've found that PHP's syntax is very similar to C++.

As others have said, C++ is a great starting place for the serious programmer. It is one of the most powerful and widely used languages in existence.
However, if you're just looking to get your feet wet and don't yet know whether or not you will enjoy programming, I would recommend C#. It's a great language and one of the most powerful next to C and C++. Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE is the best around and will help you a ton not only with the actual programming but also with learning to make clean, self-documenting code, which is an important, often-neglected part of programming. Also you'll find C++ much easier after learning C#. This is an excellent C# tutorial once you've gotten set up (it doesn't walk through the setup process at all; might want to google around for that. It's no rocket science or anything though)
Whatever you choose, just stick with it and ASK OTHERS. Don't let yourself stop just because you get frustrated; there are huge communities out there to help you learn.
Good luck and happy programming!
