I'm looking at the different tools available to move business apps like payroll or accounting from VisualBasic to web-based apps. Since I don't have much experience with web applications and few people have extensive knowledge of other tools besides the one they use, it's difficult to make an educated choice.
Since Java is too much of a pain to set up and I don't like Perl, I'm leaning toward PHP + Midgard or Zope.
Midgard provides quite handy framework for handling users and contact information but for the payroll and accounting transaction data you will need extend base objects quite much, also since there will a ot of queries data structure optimization is an isssue (since you cannot access the database directly, only trough the midgard provided abstraction layer this has interesting implications and requires quite extensive knowledge of Midgard), of course a hybrid approach could be used where a separate DB is used for the transaction data and Midgard is used for the web frontend and user/contact information.
