PHP - http://www.php.net/

php is happy to run as an apache module and makes a simple
database/query like this a snap. also very easy to create web pages
dynamically generated from sql database content using just a few lines
of php. php has modules to talk to a wide variety of sql databases and
other interesting net services - ldap, imap, snmp, etc.

good luck!
