Hi Tom,

I was thinking of using the GnuCash database as a model for a PHP similar
version.

I really want to further the development of GnuCash to have an API interface
or web interface.  This is not only for these benefit of my company, but
also for others who may find interest.

Thanks,
Chris Smith
