Need advice

[mrecint]

Hi, I'm new here:

On my job I was told to develope an intranet site that will get info and update an MS Access 97 database.

Before I have done this easily through Active Server Pages '.asp'.
The server admin stated in an e-mail "We currently do not support ASP in any of our production intranet environment. Our global standard is that of Java Servlets/JSP on an IBM WebSphere platform. Typically, developers in this environment are buidling applications with Oracle backends. Otherwise, we do still support PHP and SSI throughout the intranet. "
I thought I was using SSI when I was coding ASP?

What is the easiest route? Do the page in PHP?
I don't think I need to use JSP because I'm only access an Access Database.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Mike

The move from ASP to PHP should br fairly painless, and a doddle if you've any C experience. Just key manual handy to look up functions.

As for Access, I've had problems with web apps and would recommend a db thats more web-friendly and heavyweight.
