librabries for PHP and a module: where to put things?

[Sandro D. <san...@ti...>]

Hi, lately I developed a module for webmin in php and I will let it
available (GPL) within few days and others may follow, but first I would
like to understand where should I place things correctly.

I thought to create a subdir 'php' of webmin main directory (/usr/share/webmin
in Debian) and to put there the php library and some more file needed (eg.:
a simple javascript file to add tooltips). This would be different from
leaving web-lib.php in main dir that is the model used now. Would that be a
reasonable choice?

I also made some functions that are much more general than simply for
webmin (eg.: a form generator), maybe I should put them under /usr/lib/php4?

Copywrite issue: I changed a little the version of web-lib.php I found on
the site but I don't see any copywright not in the file so I don't know if
I'm entitled to modify and put it in a GPL module. (Jamie do you have a
private address of the author or can you ask him to contact me?)

As a last issue: is there some security concern why I should fear php with
webmin more than perl?

Thanks in advance.
