What server technology with Apache?

Hi,
I am about to use server side technology with our new server (I want to begin using dynamic pages). These are the details:

Apache Web Server 1.4 on Linux Red Hat 7.1
PHP 4.06
Perl 5.6
SSL
MySQL 3.23

Could you tell me what is the best server side language to use for dynamic pages? I know PHP is becoming very popular. But I am from an ASP and JSP background. I could set up the server to use JSP and servlets etc but is there much point if PHP and Perl are installed? I've heard these are good and fast!

Thanks.

Chris.

Sorry. Won't happen again.

Hi,
It basically depends on the level of complexity your web solution is aimed at. If you will be doing quite simple stuff, simple db queries etc. then php, perl, modperl would be perfect for that. PHP would be my choice of that lot, mainly because of speed and ease of use. If you will incorporating complex business logic into your solution then you should consider using java in you middle tier.

The reuseable and distributed nature of java objects would be definitely more suitable for large scale, complex objects.
