I want to develop an application that uses a background database but 
delivers the displayed data in a web browser.  OK, no big deal so far.

The problem is that I also want to be able to deliver printable material
which will need a degree of formatting to suit a preprinted form.  This
printable material could comprise any number of formatted output sheets to
be printed as overlays on the preprinted forms.

Given that I want to use a web browser as the main user interface, what
would be the best language in which to write the app?  I'm guessing PHP
rather than Perl; I see that that has a set of PDF functions that might
give me what I want.

Are there any good pointers out there?
