MySQL and PHP are my favorite combination.

PHP is a server pre-parser, much in the same 'style' as ASP.  Only it works
better, is easier to develop in and works on multiple architectures,
platforms and webservers.

One application written in PHP, phpMyAdmin is really nice for administration
of MySQL databases.

I would highly suggest it.
