Yes I know. After I read Alan's thoughts it was pretty clear to me why
it failed. It wasn't apparent to me initially that PHP runs as a CGI
app itself.

I'm a lot into command line interfaces, but I realize that many others
are not. Especially Mac users seem oblivious to the existence of
command line interfaces, so I'd like to have a GUI in addition to
that. As I'm not a GUI programmer myself, I'd be thrilled to see what
you'll come up with. Is your PHP code custom tailored or is it going
to be useful for the general public?

Markus
