    Approximate time to learn all languages is a week, but that's only to understand the syntax.
    It takes decades to master a language with all its nuances.

    How long is a piece of string?

    How quickly do you learn?

    Java is not related to Javascript in anyway (not that you implied it was).

    PHP is simple to learn. Sure you can understand it's syntax quickly, but you will (pretty much) always have to refer to php.net for details.

    MYSQL is not a language, you could learn (again just the basics) of SQL very quickly. (It's pretty much English).

    Javascript is easy to learn, and you can start by using publicly available scripts, see the source code of web sites to find out how they work and so on. Java is much harder, it has to be compiled into bytecode so you need to use the Java SDK, and it is a highly Object Oriented (OOP) language, so you need to learn the concept of classes and such.

    PHP is interpreted so it's pretty easy but you can't look at how a site works with PHP since it's server side. You can still use one of the many available free scripts to learn from. SQL is the database language almost every database uses and it's extremely simply to learn the basics, you can do it in an hour.

    mySQL is a database.

    Yes, Java and Javascript are completely unrelated. The creators of JavaScript gave it a similar name to the new (at the time) and popular Java language to gain media attention.

    ASP is not easy to learn, well at least not as easy as (the basics of) HTML. CSS is also not particularly easy, you have to be able to deal with various bugs that exist in many browsers etc.

    Java and Javascript are two entirely different languages.

    Java is very vast subject. There's Java for desktop, mobile and even Internet.
    Javascript is easy to grasp and understand.

    I learned PHP in 2 weeks and got it solid by a few months, sure I still ask for help but when you have a basic understanding of languages and their structures you can easily learn them quickly.

    Go study up on Pseudocode before you attempt to learn a language and it will be a lot easier. Pseudocode is pretty much a programming language core, when something is written in Pseudo code it can be interpreted differently depending on what language one wants to write in. Pseudocode uses commands that any good programming language uses.

    Make sure while learning make sure you start small projects to refresh what you have learned and download open source stuff crack it open to see how they work.
