Hi David and Henning,

    Thank you for your info.  I will try those web based interface to have a 
look. It seems I must have a server with a public IP to do it.  

    The PHP client interface is more important to me, because all my rest work 
are written in PHP+Mysql.  However I can not find a PHP client interface 
download from either the GIFT official site or the help-gift mailing list.  Can 
you provide me such a PHP interface source code bundle? 

    Thanks a lot.

Zhigao
