Charles,

A guy in Germany contacted me because he wanted to do the same thing you 
want to do, and he saw in PickWiki that I had worked with InterCall.  He 
had some questions and we exchanged a few emails.   In our discussion, 
we came to the consensus that (a) the number of functions to port and 
test was monumental, (b) thread-safety complicated the issue, and (c) 
there were already established ways of accomplishing the tasks he wanted.

I think most U2 developers choose one of the established methods 
mentioned in PickWiki's "Accessing U2 from PHP" article.

In spite of that, I believe we (the U2 community) would benefit from yet 
another U2/PHP solution.  Different strokes for different folks.  I'm 
sure the  Apache/PHP'er on the fringe of U2 usage would love to have a 
familiar PDO driver interface.  But if you decide to do it, do it for 
yourself -- most successful popular apps started life solving one man's 
problem (think of Napster), and open source projects targeted for "the 
masses" tend to flop.
