[Jesse Kaufman <glandix@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apache + MySQL + PHP would be my choice...  as steve said, PHP is very
easy to program with and has some very nice stuff builtin for MySQL and
PostgreSQL ....  after doing a bunch of stuff in perl for a site, i
decided to try out PHP and have been so impressed, i rewrote my webpage to
use PHP instead of Perl...  didn't take long at all, and it was MUCH
easier...

as steve said, i'm not sure about security implications, however...
php.net has some great information and documentation on the language...
