It's going to be a complex process whatever way that you do it. I haven't used web express but it is not going to be any faster than Intraweb. No matter what framework you use, you will need to rewrite all the gui stuff. Intraweb is easier than most as you can still treat your app as single user and it feels a lot like regular delphi.
I choose to go 3 tier because I needed the database to be a long way from the web server as it was used elsewhere. If you don't have that requirement then you can stay with whatever database connectivity you are already using. Either way you still need to move all your logic to datamodules and then rewrite your gui. D 4 php is not much help for you.
