Well, you did good research. All 3 of those options are by far the
most popular interfaces to a dynamic site.

However, I'm not sure you understand, exactly, about making it
compatible. The browser is what interprets the HTML, and Linux
browsers can do that. And since PHP is a SS language (server-side
language, meaning the server interprets the data before moving on to
the browser), we don't have to worry about making browsers compatible
with PHP....

.... until we talk about the webserver. The Apache webserver,
fortunatly for you, can interpret PHP.

MySQL and SQL, I don't know much about, but I do know that it is a
highly used database language :P

You might want to check out DHTML as well (aptly named Dynamic HTML).
But what you have right now is a good start.
