In my opinion, PHP would be trivially easy to learn for you. Quick, what 
does the following function do? 

function blackbox() { 
        $conn = mysql_connect("localhost","username","secret) 
                or die("Could not connect to MySQL database."); 
          // Connection info.

        $select_db = mysql_select_db("test", $conn); 
          // Selects database and calls $conn


        $result = mysql_exec("SELECT snake_id FROM info WHERE
type='python'");
          // sets up the search procedure

        $num = mysql_num_rows($result); 
         // numbers the results.

        echo "$result pythons in database.<br>"; 
          // prints the sentence
} 

Well how did I do?
