Beginning MySQL Tutorial
One of the fastest SQL (Structured Query Language) database servers currently on the market is the MySQL server, developed by T.c.X. DataKonsultAB. MySQL, available for download at http://www.mysql.com, offers the data base programmer with an array of options and capabilities rarely seen in other database servers. What's more, MySQL is free of charge for those wishing to use it for private and commercial use.

Certainly use PHP!
First off, "CGI" is not a programming language, it's merely a standard that describes how should web server interact with external data processor. Most used with PHP are Perl and Bash scripts, and both are hardly suitable for real web development.
The second, PHP is just a cool little tool (not so little actually). Currently I'm writing a large project on PHP. The only thing that I have to keep in mind (just like with any other web programmer) is that I am not writing aa program but a script; it just gets some data, decides what to output, and leaves. If you really remember that you aren't writing daemon but just a script you'll learn to code fast and efficiently very soon.
Finally, there's just nothing better than PHP when it comes to databases. It's flexible and sharp.
However, you must have php installed on the server, and most providers still don't support it yet. Check out before you sign up hosting agreement.
You integrate the code into the source PHP code.
