I too would recommend Ruby on Rails. It's a very powerful full stack framework and pretty easy to get a hang off (even if you don't know ruby). If you really want to program PHP (I did this until a year ago, but try to avoid it as much as possible now), you could have a look at the Rails-like CakePHP or Symphony PHP frameworks. But, as I said, Ruby on Rails is just so easy yet powerful and it has a great community.
Prototype/Scriptaculous is well integrated into Rails (the authors of those JavaScript frameworks are core members of RoR), but you could as well use JQuery. I prefer to use JQuery with Rails and have done so with great success. I use the MinusR plugin from Dan Webb, so I can use erb (the rails templating language) in my JavaScript code.
