What's the best serverside language to learn for small sites?

[nearlyNonexistent]

Is PHP or Python or Perl or Ruby or etc better? I need to make a simple site, which has some serverside programming required, but I'm not sure which one would be best to learn for it. What do you guys think?

It isn't so much a matter of "better" - it all depends upon what you want to do. In my opinion, php is "best" because that is what most of the sites have been using for quite a few years.
