I need to develop a series of browser based reports / data inquiries where user can input search criteria and the result will be returned from a database. and the output is expected to be presented with a modern look and feel and It is expected to be used on mobile device.

I am totally new in developing browser based application. The closest I came to was building a drupal 6 site on ubuntu and using jquery to spice it up.

Could you please suggest what I should use for the development?
The database is MSSQL-2000, but I am willing to move the necessary data to a new database if I have to.

Thanks a lot.

    Okay, so here is my subjective example:

    I am using Debian Linux as a server OS, with PHP 5.3 as serverside scripting and MySQL 5.1 as database.

    I choose PHP because it’s easy to work with, easy to learn, and has already installed extensions for MySQL. so i can just use mysql related functions to access the database.

    On the client side i use jQuery for interactivity with different plugins for fancy stuff. The layout developed by a professional desiner who hadns me the HTMLs and CSS so i only need to add the text i get from the database and put some javascript (jQuery) to make ajax requests to the server.

    As a SDK i use Zend Studio but a free alternative with the same editing features is Eclipse PDT.

    I think this is the most simple, easy to setup architecture for simple web based applications that need to send requests to server and display results into HTML.

    Hope this helps
