Back in the old days, I used
AOLserver
and Tcl. Now I've switched to using Apache and PHP, just to be different.
Actually, it's not just to be different — Apache and PHP is
essentially the least common denominator for web development
software. That means that if for some reason I was forced to move my
site off my own server, I could probably make everything work. Plus,
the PHP code I come up with is more portable to other sites.
I mainly use PHP for simple templating, a navigation bar, and email
obfuscation. I actually use PHP in earnest for my photo album system,
which is described in
a separate document.
