Please don't use PHP. Unless you are a very experienced and very disciplined programmer, it is far too easy to hack together some unmaintainable crap. Please use something more sane like Python or maybe even Ruby (though I know many people who do not care for the Ruby style). Second, please don't use MySQL (or at least MySQL-specific code). If you use Python, I would recommend you make use of the DB-API which allows you access any standard databse from your program (similar to ODBC, which is also an option in Python, though DB-API is actually included in the language now, IIRC). That way your app stays portable across database implementations.
