Are there any mature and easy to use software development environments for Web/Database programming?

I don't really mind what language mySql/PHP seems the obvious pair but it doesn't necessarily have to be those two.

I'm after writing a Web enabled database application and would like to choose a good way to do it.

I've heard lots of good things about Ruby with Ruby-on-rails, and also about FreePascal with Lazarus. Cheers, Laurie. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurie Brown laurie@brownowl.com --------------------------------------------------------------------

If you've not touched rails, and you want something nce, I suggest django, uses a postgres backend by default, though supports multiple others (including sqlite), and is python based (simple to learn, nice OO language).
