You should read the Facebook Factsheet.

Site was originally built on PHP and MySQL (and still uses a combination thereof to this day; albeit, much more complex combinations of architecturally). To build your own Facebook though, you don't necessarily need to use PHP. There are lots of great web frameworks you could try like Rails, Django, et al.

Facebook I believe is based on PHP, mySQL and Apache. Here you can see some of the open technologies and tools they use.

And if you are planning on making your own facebook, or something similar, you might want to give a brief look to diaspora. It is an open source social network build with Ruby on Rails.
