We are currently integrating a PHP application with a box running OpenCalea.  We are creating php forms for Tap Config, Collector Config and Tap session management.  We are writing a file that contains session information so that on reboot we can restart those sessions.  All actions are via 'shell_exec' using command line parameters.
 
It would be nice to have some of the session management more automated.  It would be nice to be able to easily query a list of tap sessions with their attributes, start an stop them etc.  If the functions returned XML that would be sweet.
 
We are shipping next week so I guess some of my requests will need to wait until a couple of versions later.
 
I would love to see a LAMP wrapper, in fact, I wouldn't mind contributing something to it..

Perhaps we could make a 'LAMP' wrapper such that we can retain the
simplicity of a command-line driven program while offering a GUI feature set
to those who are interested.

Also, FWIW, everything compiles & runs on a vanilla CentOS 4.4 install.
