John, I am sorry for the delayed reply...since it sounds like you would need to gain some knowledge on how to integrate components like Apache, MySQL, PHP, and R, I highly recommend one or more of Paul Dubois' books:
1) MySQL 2) MySQL Cookbook 3) MYSQL and Perl for the Web While the primary focus of these is the MySQL database, the author is very thorough in explaining how to connect MySQL to other tools like Apache and PHP. Even the third book, while certainly Perl-centric, illustrates concepts that are applicable to other glue languages such as PHP and Python. Even some of the OS differences between Windows and Linux are included in his discussions. There is overlap amongst all three, but enough distinction to make all 3 a worthwhile investment if indeed you wish to come with a reliable practical solution. If you want to invest in only one, I would start with the MySQL book. Hope this helps.
