Well, this is the "General Programming" category, in the "Everything Else" section. Meaning it is specifically
not about operating systems.

I'm not an expert on web developing, but every website I have made uses JavaScript for the front end, and that is what I would recommend using, but I think you can use PHP for front end too. Also, you could use other languages for the back end, if you want.
You can make do without JavaScript, and whether you have your sites generated by PHP, Perl, or even C (with CGI) doesn't really matter. More important at the start is a plan for how you can get what you want. You want a web app that saves data persistently, so that sort of hints at the need for a database. But before you roll out your SQL schema, think about how this all should come together. What do the pages look like? What pages exist, and how do they interact? You have to plan this stuff out. Once you have that, writing a program to generate the HTML is basically the easy part.
Maybe foregoing JavaScript for the moment is easier, if only because this way you only have to think about two layers of source code (PHP/Perl/whatever generating HTML, which then is displayed) rather than three (JavaScript at the end of it all). Mind you, I also don't do web dev professionally.
