I am on summer vacation, but I want to learn web development, The current programming language I know are the following

C#
Java
C

and I know the following scripting and markup language

Javascript
HTML and a little bit of PHP.

but I wanted to know where would I learn most? should I venture on PHP? or Ruby on Rails? I don't have any experience or knowledge with regards to Ruby and of course ruby on rails, but I am gussing Ruby is a pre-requisite for learning the Ruby on rails framework right?

Now the question, WHat are the pros and cons of both these language, is ruby worth learning just for Ruby on rails? and which has a higher market?
