It really depends on how advanced your statistical needs are. If you
have all statistical routines you need already written (or expect that
they will be easy for you to write), PHP is as good as any other
scripting language. If, however, you want advanced statistics, you
will have make your choice of scripting language based on the
computational core you are going to be using. For example, if you
wanted to deploy webMathematica, you'd have to write a Web interface
for it in JSP; if you went with @RISK Developer's Kit instead, ASP or
ASP.Net would probably be a better choice...
