Any fairly recent version of PHP should suffice. It doesn't use register globals
or any options that need to be specifically compiled in.

For my authentication, I use a suid perl script that authenticates against NIS maps
and returns the user directory among some other auth info. If you're going to
pass anything to the command line from PHP, remember to use escapeshellarg()
or escapeshellcmd() functions on the user input.

I figured I would send this off-list, but is there a required version of
php for this to work properly? Thanks.

This should be a learning experiance ... I'll try to figure out how to use
authentication in php. I was going to try having perl authenticate with
the system passwd file.

Here's the PHP template I wrote for my small user base (slightly
modified for public consumption).
You'll have to write your own authentication code. All this template
really requires is that you set
the $user_dir variable.

Also, it assumes that the first line in the user_prefs file is the
"required_hits" directive.
It registers any directive it doesn't recognize as a "Custom" rule.
Should be pretty
easy to figure out.

Good luck,

Patrick
