But my advice would be, get comfortable with the PHP system before moving on to database structures and interrogation.
That's a really good start, HTML is a very good start to learn coding and programming. I think you should use Dreamweaver to create HTML scripts, it would help as you can design stuff and refer to the code to build up your knowledge and see what's actually happening. Nevertheless really good job.
You can, in my opinion, do it either way. I'm not a web developer so this is coming from a programmers viewpoint. I had to learn the basic of SQL over my previous semester for use with Python and C#. I haven't learned much of PHP but you can still use simple SQL commands to control/create/delete databases, I figured it would be better to have an understanding of it first than to jump into something that incorporates it.
