There might be some PHP frameworks for access control and
authorization. Afterall, almost all decent web-apps require this. I
guess frameworks like PHPNuke would have it though I never looked at
them. We developed an ASP framework for our Intranet and most of the
logic and AC specifications are on the DB side so it won't be too
difficult to adapt it to PHP.

Anyway, if you are comfortable with a web-based
design, I would
recommend PHP, since its the easiest to quickly learn and develop in,
Unfortunately, PHP doesn't have built in security checks that are
important for web based apps.

That isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the -T switch in
perl that turns on taint checking. Basically, perl will not execute
your program if it appears that the programmer doesn't know what he's
doing.
It checks all data for trustworthiness, and will not allow the use of
untrusted data in certain situations (opening files, exec, etc.)
perl forces you to preprocess data that you've received from an
untrustworthy source.
