I too would recommend PHP. For simple forms, there really isn't much
to it, and can easily be integrated with an existing site.
If you're looking to a more complex tool, I would recommend any one of
the popular Content Management Systems (CMSs). I've had success with
many but have been using Drupal lately, combined with the OSS /
flash-based, Flex framework.
As far a proprietary software, www.businessobjects.com is quite
popular with the corporate industry.
