Thanks for the link, but this doesn't look like it is what we need.  It
looks like this is used to create a CLI using php and your web server,
giving you the ability to run commands from your browser.  A great idea
in its own right, but seems like a security risk on a public server.

It looks like I need to convince the powers that be to upgrade php to
version 4.3 or better.
