NCR Lab writes > Or maybe I should just use php? If you don't know python or perl already, my advice is to use PHP. I am currently teaching PHP as part of a web site architecture course, the course material is at http://wotan.liu.edu/home/krichel/lis651w05s It is the first time that I run the class, so the material is very rough, but by next year, you should be able to download the slides, work through them, and then use the PHP web site. > Do you have a preference for handling data input? This is one of the strengths of PHP, it comes with a bunch of functions that are handy to check input.
