Look up PHP: www.php3.org ...........
It is server side scripting language similar to C with
extensive support for various databases including MySQL....
Works with many servers on Windows (and what is important for you)
on UNIX (it can be compiled as Apache module)....
Yes, when you write a page with PHP you can just copy
it between servers whic are PHP (MySQL) enabled.....
so porting actually includes installation of server and PHP and
MYSQL (actually in reverse order).....
No code rewrite neccessary.....

Yes, it works MS Personal Web Server......
No, no ODBC required...........
Although if you want you can use ODBC to connect to database but
PHP has native drivers for MySQL so using ODBC would be *stupid*....
