Ciao Gilles and Neal.

    Thanks for your postings. I tried with the XML output, but I found also 
another way for managing the output with PHP. Indeed, creating a wrapper 
PHP script which handles the XML output generated by htsearch is kinda slow.

    Basically this is my idea. I tried it and it works pretty fast and it 
is very flexible. I make htsearch write PHP code itself, by generating code 
to be evaluated inside the wrapper script. It's needless to say to we have 
to be extremely careful about checking the code.

    I am testing it. If you are interested I can share it with you guys and 
discuss about it. Waiting for your opinion, especially as far as the 
security is concerned.

Ciao and thanks
-Gabriele
