HTML - is not a programming language, it is a markup language.
you should have a basic understanding of HTMl before you learn CSS.
CSS - CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, Styles define how to display HTML elements.
you should have a basic understanding of HTMl before you learn PHP.
PHP is a powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive Web pages.

Finally you should learn all of the above to become a good web developer.

If you learn PHP without HTML,CSS basic, then, you would have problem in the development cycle.

Visit w3schools.com, it's a good place to learn HTML, CSS and PHP. Moreover they have resources for Javascript, XML and etc..

Also, I would recommend this book Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML. Link to publisher : http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101978

See the point is this ...we must start from scratch...and for web development...you must first understand the HTML ,then use CSS in it...
And for PHP ,it is server side scripting...without knowing html ,css ,you can't work with php.
So to learn these all just click http://www.w3schools.com

W3schools is not actually a good resource, it's just that everyone uses it. http://htmldog.com/ has much better HTML and CSS tutorials.

Before you even think about pHp, learn markup and styling. You can produce great looking sites without a hint of pHp. You only really need pHp if you want to include forms and dynamic pages. JS can do a lot of interactive stuff without the need for full blown Ajax.

Take a month to learn HTML and CSS. Learn good practice. See how different browsers treat your styling. You'll need to download them all. Take care with accessibility - font sizes, font-faces, colour schemes, etc.

Once you're ready, download XAMPP (or similar package) to test out your pHp and MySQL.
Ensure that you use a good GUI, with code hinting, e.g. Notepad++ or Aptana.

I'd also recommend buying a book as opposed to relying on tutorials as they are peer-reviewed and are *usually* more accurate that online efforts, which anybody can write.

I started from there.http://www.html.net/
And here is the good place for CSS design www.csszengarden.com.

Start from basic, and go professional. Below is the simple road map.
HTML+CSS+Js => PHP/ASP.Net/JSP/Framework

Enjoy with your learning.
