migrating to php

[Bob Long]

For some time now we've been discussing the idea of moving our links
collection to a database and php format for easier management by
the reference staff.

We've done some testing, and everything looks good. The staff is even
excited about the web-based forms for adding and deleting links. But now
it occurs to me that this is going to mean re-naming a good portion of our
files from .html to .php. And as we all know, this breaks the first web
commandment of never renaming or moving files and/or directories.

I see in the archives that a few of you have already added this feature
(some using php, others using perl). I would be interested to know how you
handled the change from .html files to .php or .cgi.
