Hmm. I take that back.  Even though their top-level description of
project services only mentions static web content, if you drill down
to 
 https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web%20and%20developer%20web%20platform
it seems to say that PHP scripting is supported.
Not that I know anything about using PHP, but if someone wants
to tackle it, I'll help set up the necessary SourceForge access.
Any volunteers?
