You could also combine PHP and IDL if you really wanted to. Dr. Henry
Throop gave a presentation at the IDL user's group meeting called The
New Horizons Geometry Visualizer: Planning the Encounter with Pluto
where he did this very thing. I didn't see his presentation, but
downloaded it from ITT's website. It looked very slick. You can find
the presentation at:

The one potential "gotcha" to this is that PHP has to start and stop
an new IDL session every time someone uses the web interface (by way
of a shell script if i recall), so it could get slow and probably
wouldn't be appropriate if you have a lot of users to support. But if
you have just a few, it might be the perfect idea. I actually tried
the web interface, and it seemed to work fine to me, so i am
investigating it for a project i'm working on myself.
