Hi there,
I´m totally new to the internet programming world and have been given a small project that has some simple requirments.

1) Use a linux system/server to host the livesite
2) use php, which looks great, to get and manipulate database data
3) develop a client side facility to enter the details\update the db and upload files, normally images to the server that can later be accessed by the live site.
4)develop a simple user password security system.

To date I have used Windows to develop small solution for the Windows o.s.´s. and am unsure which languages to use. I was wondering if item 3 is possible and if so which language is the most useful, comprehsive and econmical to achieve it.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

1 - I don't have very much experience with server-setup, but from the little I know I think that Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP) make a great and affordable combo.
2,3 and 4 - PHP and MySQL is what you're looking for.

3- Check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php for the file uploads part.
