What language would be best for an online text-based d20 game? I was thinking php, someone else recommended python and django.

Thoughts?

Since it's a game, go with Arc, it has some nice call/cc per request model.

Honestly, it doesn't matter at all. Performance is a non-issue with such an application. Whichever you're familiar with.

If you're not familiar with PHP though I wouldn't use it. Python would indeed be a better choice. Or Perl, though it's not a trendy language these days.

The novice wanted to develop an online text-based d20 game. He couldn't decide which technology to use.
— I know! said the novice, I'll just make a website with PHP!
Now the novice had two problems.

Seriously, PHP is a mess. Use Python/Django, or best, Python/CherryPy.
Good luck !

Online? Why not write it in Javascript?

php is all you need really... but if you want to go all trendy about it have a RESTfull backend written in whatever with a HTML5 frontend. double points for using a NoSQL solution.
