This problem is language agnostic, you can use whatever you prefer. I would say pick PHP, Ruby, or Python along with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a SQL Database (I use Postgres but nothing is wrong with MySQL). Learn how your chosen language interacts with the database. Then comes the hard part building an intuitive system for the user which translates well into a database model.
