My Mate Orbit143 already gave you the best answer.
It's up to you.
For making Apps go for - F# or C++ (beginning with C)
For Web - PHP (Beginning with HTML)

True.
For Apps with GUI, I recommend to start with Cpp.
If you want to create scripts, start with Python! Python rocks
If you have never done anything in terms of coding, learn the basics of HTML first. I wouldn't start with PHP.
python syntax is supremely weird, and also not many hosting companies support it

I study, practice and utilize multiple languages, for multiple purposes. If you seriously want to learn, pick a language based on a project that you want to build and then, learn the 101 basics and the trial and error of field programming...that is the way all schools do it and how all programming training courses work as well...they show the tool, how to use it and give you the project to build the end product result.
Best of luck with it.

First prior:
Second:
VB.net/C#//C++
Learn all of them to be good
Let me rearrange them.
HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/SQL stuff/Regex
VB.net / C#/ C++
Alternatively, I wont learn both C# and Vb.net. They are almost similar and depends on .Net framework.
I would learn Delphi instead
If you learn one programming language well, then it is incredibly easy to learn another language because programming is a skill and the language you use is merely a tool. I'd suggest if you want to get a good idea of what you're gonna be doing quickly, go download Python 2.7 and open up the interpreter and start following some tutorials or search for "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist with Python" (a free and really USEFUL book for learning Python).

Start off with basic languages, HTML/CSS/Javascript and move on to C#/C++ when you get the hang of it?

Get a hold of the book 'Learn Python the Hard Way' by Zed Shaw.
And yeah, learn Python. I find the syntax the easiest of all. After the book I mentioned above, 'Dive into Python' is another great resource.
Learning a programming language isn't difficult; it's grasping the concepts that is difficult to many. You should try and understand data structures, basic algorithms, etc. Basically, try and understand how computers work (on the software level).

If you are very very very new to anything 'programming'
Spend the next week messing around with HTML/CSS
learn the differences between HTML and CSS
The reason is you will get instant feedback from what you are doing.
It will allow you to see how 'code' affects 'objects'
Once you have spent a bit of time with HTML/CSS
start flipping though Zed Shaw's Learn to Code the Hard Way books
Python
C
Regex
Python is the swiss army knife of programming with today's current technologies.
It will do Web/Gui/Scripts/DB/AI/ML/etc./etc.
When python is slow you can write a C extension for what ever bottle neck you have ran into, Boom you app is fast again.
Python will teach you how to write readable code.
C will teach you how a computer works.
once you have spent time with Python and C, start playing with PHP/Wordpress

PHP is a powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive Web pages. PHP is the widely-used, free, and efficient alternative to competitors such as Microsoft's ASP.
Lot's of Python enthusiasts around (which is a great thing)!
Really depends on what it is that you are planning to do. Learning programming is a lot easer than it used to be nowadays. When I first started out there was no such resource as stackoverflow for example, even the easiest problem required a lot fo hacking + some serious book work.
I find Python good as a starting, all purpose language. Other languages that you might feel like exploring include Haskell, Google Go, Clojure (my current tool of choice for most problems) and Scala. I'll throw C/C++ into the mix, just for fun., hehe.
Might also think about portability and code application. Where do are you planning to run your software? Will you be developing for desktop or mobile applications? Will you be developing general consumer or server software? Lot's of questions to ask yourself and lots of stuff to consider (whenever in doubt consult stackoverflow).
Start out with Python and see where it will lead you.
