Well, the most common language would be SQL, and a very popular database option would be MySQL, however there are other SQL options out there, such as PostgreSQL, and more.

There are also NoSQL options out there, which is what I'm currently using, such as MongoDB. However, I'd recommend you probably go with MySQL, it's wildly popular, and you should be able to find plenty of resources online to help.

As far as what backend language to use to accept form data and send it off to the database, it quite frankly doens't matter, all back end languages are capability of this functionality.
