I've not used it myself, so I'm not sure how viable it is, but there is this
PECL extension http://pecl.php.net/package/python that apparently lets you use
Python from within PHP if you can't find a better native solution.

I did some of this for python.
What langauge will you use?

Long time ago I made a script solving similar problems:
