Thanks everyone for your advice with this. I'm going to go with Drupal.

Yes, that was comforting.

<tip type="Debugging">
When you're looking for the cause of an error in a scripting language, 
and you have to print something out to the screen temporarily in order 
to determine the cause of the error (e.g., you have to print out a 
generated SQL query), use a syntax that you don't generally use as part 
of your normal coding style in order to make it easier to get rid of the 
temporary code when you're done debugging.

For example, in PHP if you usually use "print()" to send stuff to the 
screen, use "echo()" for temporary stuff while debugging. That way when 
you're done, you can make sure you've removed all the temporary stuff by 
searching for and removing all the "echo"s.
