But if you have an application server or CGI somewhere in between, then that is where you would get your database in line with your JavaScript. So in PHP, you could use native functions, or a framework, or something in-between, like an ORM wrapper. In Ruby, you could obviously use Rails or write something much simpler in Ruby using the CGI libraries. No matter which application server you use, you will be posting a form to the Web server, which will intercept that request and redirect it through your app server and then that layer will talk to the database.
