What are your opinions on php?

Well there's a number of options. You could build it using something like the popular Django framework, or you could do it from scratch using FIOC technology.
Any language designed by Guido van Rossum should be fine to use, too.
Maybe write something with Google App Engine, I hear it's pretty nice.

The important thing is to stay away from Java and RoR, really.
I don't mind modern PHP that much as a language, just stay away from any form of PHP 'community', PHP users can't code worth shit.
