The most popular programming/scripting language best suited for the web 
is PHP.

Since your application might use a lot of exchanges back-and-forth 
between the browser and the web server (for AJAX) you can use JSON as 
the data interchange format.

Many high volume traffic web sites including Yahoo! are powered by PHP.

Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, is here for FOSS.in and would be 
giving a talk on PHP5, you can put forth your questions to him.
