What kind of web server is it (IIS, Apache, etc) and on what platform is it
running (NT/2000, Linux, Solaris, BSD, etc)?

What scripting or programming tools are available to you (Perl, PHP,
C/C++, VBScript, etc)?

There are lots of ways to do this. Whatever you do, don't leave the
unencrypted customer data on the web server. If it gets cracked, that data
will be stolen. Your donors wouldn't appreciate that.
