For what it's worth, the Mahout 'taste-web' module contains scripts that will build a ready-to-use web service around a Java-based Recommender, as a .war file that you can deploy on something like Tomcat, and then talk to via HTTP. That would be accessible from any platform that can make HTTP requests.

Getting started with Php - Basics
What is PHP?
• PHP is short for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor – it allows you
to write short programs inside your HTML web pages that
are executed as the user asks for the page.
• PHP is simple and easy to learn, and incredibly powerful.
• PHP is used on many websites across the world.
How canI use PHP?
• I t is more easy to find free hosting for PHP pages than it is
for CGI scripts or ASPs – try:
http:/ / www.xoasis.com
(Banner ads but easy to access)
http:/ / www.freeola.net
(No banners but you must use their dialup)
