While ASP may be helpful to learn if you are working with Windows servers, there isn't any real point these days to learning CGI like C++ for websites. PHP is available on 99% of the servers now and it's extremely portable and it has every command you need. In fact, it has a lot of good commands that aren't available in other languages.
To me, PHP is closest to C, rather than to Java, but maybe because I'm more used to C than Java.
