PHP and CGI are run server-side.

Forms are written in HTML.

Javascript runs on the browser but it is Turned Off (tm).

You have asked a pretty broad question. :-)

PHP is a popular choice for scripting on both Windows and non-Windows
servers. For what it's worth, PHP and CGI are not mutually exclusive.

There are countless books on this subject.
For instance, "PHP for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg.../-/0321245652/

Anyway, my method of learning about new programming techniques is to go
to www.google.com and type in the same words I was asking about, and
also the word "tutorial". Read a few tutorials and see if the concepts
start to make sense.

A newsgroup is not the best place to get introduced to broad topics;
newsgroups are better for getting answers to specific questions, after
you've learned the basics.
