["Clint A. Brubakken" <cabrubak@xxxxxxx>]

I just read an article in Linux Journal on the Future of the Web. 
In part he was discussing datbase pooling and php and he said that
"PHP's  system is perhaps the crudest because it provides neither a
standard base API,  nor a means for Database drivers to pool connection
automattically, nor a way for programmers to take advantage of those
connections"

You seem to be going towards embedded html. I know you've wanted purely
open source, but you said your on NT so you can't be pure, I've been
using jsp's and java servlets at work connecting to a MySQL (and
occasionly due to client needs) and access databases. It's a good
solution. Another one is Html::Mason which works with mod_perl under
apache.
