Apache/Linux server for a couple...not sure what the other three are, but that's academic since I'm gonna switch all my webs to my Apache guy (more personallized service - I like that)
So... have you written a book on this ? ;-)
Thanks!

| If you need this to run on a Unix server then yes, PHP and MySQL are
| probbly the direction to go.
|
| Personbally, I prefer ASP.NET, or if that's not available, ASP.
| However, those require a Windows Web server.
