You could probably move on to the heavier languages if you're good with BASIC.
You could use JavaScript now and start using PHP after a few months... After that, you could use Java, C#, C++, ect.
I was able to use PHP after a year or so of BASIC but it was hard to understand at first(Javascript would've helped a lot). C++ was easy to learn(but it took a while to really understand pointers) for me after several months(?) of PHP.
If you want to do web development now, in my opinion, you'll need to know CSS so it will help you if you decide to use PHP.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is a good reference/place to learn about web development.
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a good reference for PHP...
phpdev from firepages - php , mysql , apache preconfigured for windows is something that will let you use PHP for local development by installing a pre-configured Apache and some other programs(PHP, MySQL, ect). Version 5 didn't work for me, but 4 worked well.
