Can anyone suggest the best solution please?

I've a site with static HTML product pages. I would like to make the price on these pages dynamic so that when all of the prices change, rather than change them on each individual page, I can just change them in one place.

From looking around, SSI seems to be the way forward, but can anyone suggest the easiest language to do this in please? PHP?

I'm after the easiest to get a grasp of really, as its going to mean buying a book and doing my best to work out how to do it!

Any suggestions very very gratefully received! I'm lost and confused :o)

I'd advise PHP, but that's very much a matter of personal preference. Yet I find it easy to learn, very powerful, and forgiving. And it's so common nowadays with its buddy MySQL.

PHP and a textfile with productnumber and price (in a secure directory)
Even easier than MySQL
