What programming language should I use to make a fan site for a game?

I'm making a fan site for a game (if it helps to know it's for RuneScape) and I was wondering what language I should use for things. Some people tell me PHP, others say to use frames (kind of have an idea of what they are), etc. What should I use? I know I'll beusing HTML, but I know there are other languages out there that make making a website easier. Help? Thanks.

Definitely PHP if you want a complicated or interactive site. Look at http://php.net. It's a good place to start.





What PHP does is generate HTML code based on the program, so the two work together.





And don't use frames; they really aren't necessary if you know style sheets (CSS; http://www.w3schools.com/css).
Reply:If you know C++, use that with HTML. After all, the only thing better than C++ is binary.
Reply:It really depends on how complex your website is going to be. If you are going to put some content on your page and that's it, then you can accomplish that with simple HTML and some Javascript. If, on the other hand, you are going to be making use of a database, then you will need a scripting language like PHP or some other web programming language (ASP, JSP, etc.).





I generally use PHP for my own website -- it's easy to learn and open source, so you can get help online pretty quickly.
