Oh boy.
Now then, there are two primary ways of learning to program.
Top down, wherein one learns higher level/scripting languages before they learn lower level ones, and the Bottom up, where you do the opposite.
Being someone who learned the latter way (and received quite a lot of shit from a lot of people on chans like this for endorsing it), I'd highly recommend you learn the shit out of K&R C.
If you start with C, you'll figure out whether programming is something that comes naturally to you earlier on, simply because the flood of new concepts with such a lack of abstraction is something that only people who really get that huge rush out of programming will stick to.
Being that your background is in HTML/CSS, you're up for a bit of a paradigm change.

Going from a mark-up language to a programming language is quite a jump indeed. You could try Javascript, which most web browsers have. PHP is much more applicable to the Web than is C. C's problem domain is triple-X-rated systems programming.

I'd rate Python a good choice. Or Ruby.
