FYI, this sounds suspiciously like a project that I have been dabbling
with in the last few months, the Latter-day Saint Data Processing
System.  It is designed to be a general purpose utility for
Church-related data, and the use case you describe might work nicely
being implemented as a plugin module for the system.

I recommend you join the LDS-OSS mailing list if you wish to get
involved in the LDS Open Source community.

I hope someone else on this list can give you a good answer to your
question, but there is a mailing list dedicated to PHP users in this
region...

The reason that every major university maintains a department of     
mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those   
people.
