I'm not sure if there is a way to integrate PHP with Perl... PHP resides in the HTML files, perl resides in Unix.
What is the problem with getting the data from MySQL ?
PHP is designed to make it easy, that's agreed, but it lacks the power of Perl for all round management.
I've managed to get perl to do what I need, and while I use the PHP admin scripts, and other pre-written items, I have not found myself pushed to write anything in PHP, or to make it available to the 'users' on my system.
