Microsoft SQL Server 2005
SQL Server is an powerful database server recommended for higher hit web sites or for customers who want easy database administration. Because SQL Server sits as an actual server instead of a file, you can maintain the live database over the Internet from any application that is ODBC compliant, such as Visual Interdev, Cold Fusion Studio, SQL Server Enterprise manager, etc.
PHP 5
PHP (a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a very popular and widely used open source scripting environment that is used for web development. It is similar to ASP, but, some would argue, is much easier to learn and implement without lacking any power for more professional users/programmers. PHP is embedded into standard HTML and runs server-side, so, unlike client-side scripting like JavaScript, end users will not be able to see your PHP code.
