My reccomendation:
PHP as the web scripting language, it comes with native Firebird support and
will run on Linux or Windows.
www.php.net
You can get a very good IDE for PHP called PHPExpertEditor
www.phpexperteditor.com
You can then get a very good and lightweight but complete database
abstraction layer which also inclues a paging class at
www.jvmultimedia.com
That's about all you need - plus a bit or reading :-)
