Hello,
I'd recommand to check out the SRM project at www.vl-srm.net. This is
especailly designed for this. THe integrating with PHP is not an a very
high level at this moment (IE, no $HTTP_APP_DATA_VARS is set), but that is
just a matter of time. The functionality is there at this moment, and is
now being tested.
If you need some more information, you can mail me privately, or write to
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
regards,
Derick
