I have to second this.  If your server doesn't already support PHP, there
are a couple of hoops to jump through to get Apache+PHP compiled and
installed, but a small bribe to your sysadmin should get that done.
Beyond that, I picked up a copy of _Beginning PHP4_ from Wrox Press and
had PHP-based pages talking to SQL databases in about half a day.  And
that included compiling and installing everything twice (whoops, that
should have been "--with-msql", not "--with-mysql").
