for all its weaknesses, PHP will probably get you where you want to
go fastest.

well architected java systems will scale better, but for most simple apps,
java is overkill.

the PHP book i started with, _Core PHP_, is actually not a very good
book and i'd not buy it again. _PHP_ from Hungry minds is at some
level a silly book, but it actually might get you going pretty quickly,
even while you whine about how silly it is.
