I think that most of the programs used to make these web games, ones like Black Nova, and Planetarion are php4 based.

Planetarion was Fast CGI I played four rounds of it.

Not to say it can't be done in php, any server-side language with database connection capabilities can do it. PA and the like are, in the words of Starsphere creator Morglum, "glorified spreadsheets" after all.
