Firstly I am new in web programming but have knowledge in Java,C++, and HTML I have a project for my college, in which I'll be making some sort of math-problems generator using web-programming language. It is something like www.wamap.org or basically it generates math problems based on the data stored in the database, generates the solutions, and compare them with students' solution. What would be the best language to use? I mean the one that is more convenient if I have experience in desktop programming. I am thinking of PHP right now, but a friend said Ruby on Rails would also make a great choice. I read a little bit about rails and I think it is more suitable for view-oriented web application which in this case is not my project. Any suggestions are really appreciated.

Selamlar,
