I don't use any PHP reference books, so I am sorry about not being able to =
recommend one.  I find the manual on php.net is very helpful for reference.=
  Other than that, Im sure any Wrox or O'Reilly book would do the trick.

The status information on the search results is loaded in via Javascript.  =
The Javascript makes an AJAX call to the AJAX server which calls the databa=
se driver.  Send me the file and I can take a look, I will also check it in=
to SVN so we can start to track it's progress and others can help out with =
it.

There is a method called patronLogin in the driver class.  That method can =
do whatever you need to do, so you could query a separate database if neces=
sary.  For my instance, our ILS has patron data in it for logging in, etc.
