I have a little bit of experience and knowledge of ASP, MySQL, Access, HTML and XHTML.

Now to explain the scenario. Simplified a bit, I plan on designing a site where you can enter your email address and enter it into a database. Each time someone enters their address, an already existing address in the database is randomly selected and sent a message.

My question is, which language/program would be best to do this in? I don't know enough about any one in partiular to do it right off the bat, so I would like to know which would be the best to learn more in depth. Or maybe I should learn something entirely new like PHP?

Thanks in advance, and let me know if more clarification is needed.

Pretty much any combination of Server Side Language and Database Server will work. I usually use PHP and MySQL, but since you already know ASP, going that route may be easier for you. I believe you can use ASP with most of the databases you can use PHP with, so you should be able to pretty much pick what database you use (MySQL, MS-SQL, etc.).
