One thing - PHP is free, open source. I'm a *very* happy user of it, and
very excited about soon being able to use PHP with XML.
Some background:
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.
It can be rolled into a web-server as an Apache module or CGI
It supports many databases (Oracle, MySQL, MSQL etc.)
Active mailing lists and developers

tone out.
