SQL is always fun to learn... :)

SQL Injections are just... more fun to learn.

Depends.. if you don't know programming learn that first.. what it is etc.. then pick up a language.. PHP I Love.. and MySQL.. all good. ASP I don't think is as fun.. but SQL I like

PHP allows you to write code on your website.
SQL allows you to get data from a databse.

The two work together. PHP allows you to access the SQL to get data from the database and then display it on your website.

SQL is pretty easy to learn. Here is a great site that allows you to learn SQL and practice right on their site: http://www.sqlcourse.com/

You need to learn both, preferencing one in front of the other does not matter.

At first, try make some simple PHP Code for a website.

And then go more complex by getting info from an SQL database.

So I'd suggest start with PHP, and then try to use some SQL.
