Is knowledge on HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL, and in that order enough already to become a web designer/developer?

1. HTML-Basic web design, foundation of principles you will need to understand. It is the meat and bones of your website, and whether or not you are relying on CSS, or possibly some user interface for designing your web page, there will come a time when you need to use basic knowledge of HTML. Also, this would include constructing the code in between the <HEAD> tag of your website, which changes depending on the code you're using, programs you're using and important for meta tags.
3. CSS-Also a basic foundation you'll need to learn in order to succeed as a web designer. Through learning HTML, you should understand tables and how to configure them, from this point CSS is the next language and design instrument you need to be proficient in. In a nutshell, you need to learn HTML and tables, then unlearn tables and use CSS. It sounds redundant, but I personally beleive it is necessary.
6. PHP/SQL- This is a HUGE jump from javascript, very difficult, very complicated and overall it is much different from you're used to learning if you haven't worked with C++ or any other advanced programming languages. Once you've learned this though, your stock goes up 10 fold. You can create forums, blogs, ecommerce sites-shopping carts, and a lot more. You'll also have to unlearn some previous javascript, because javascript is not indexed through search engines, PHP/SQL allow you to take information, like feeds, and display it on your page as indexable content. *PHP/SQL are the most widely used programs to achieve their intended results, but there are some interchangeable ones that work if it suits you-ASP being one of them.
