The (update) book I started php on is this http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Web-Development-4th/dp/0672329166/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259357220&sr=1-1[^], I started with the 1st ed. It has complete code examples that the authors take the time to walk you through. Each example is also a complete program that can be used straight in your site, although I wouldn't due to style issues... :) But I found this book more helpful than most out there that only give you fragments of a complete web app.

Whichever you feel most comfortable with. There seems to be more support and tutorials from the PHP community however.

To be honest, Google. Want to do a login authentication?, google: "php Login tutorial" or "php authentication tutorial". If you looking for mysql database tutorials, google "mysql php tutorial". If you know JavaScript you won't have much of a problem with PHP.

hey, i would definitely recommend php, this is largely due to the hugh community it has on the www, all you have to do is google whatever your looking for and 9 out of 10 times you'll get what your looking for. theres plenty of login examples available out there too. But i would also recommend if you dont already know it get some idea of mysql dbs too, also get a version of xampp from myapache and friends for your machine that way you can do all the work locally before deploying anything. regards abu

First, CGI isn't really a language, but a way to do server side stuff outside a web server. You can write CGI stuff in most any language that can run on your system, C, C++, Perl, Pascal, etc. Therein lies the problem -- it isn't very secure and if you CGI script crashes, the entire server may also. So, I'd definitely recommend using PHP. It will allow you to do most anything you need to do on a server, but it will allow reasonable security in most implementations. Also, the way it's usually setup, if your PHP script crashes, it won't bring down the entire server.
