PHP.

:)

But seriously, revBrowser is for client-side desktop apps, so that won't 
affect what you want to build for use in any browser.

revServer is the core LiveCode engine.

On-Rev is a hosting option which comes bundled with revServer (though 
you can run revServer on nearly any Linux host).

revIgniter is a framework that uses revServer.

So to build what you need with LiveCode you'd use revServer, and 
optionally revIgniter (a good choice for making short work of complex apps).
