Permissions on a virtual server is the reason for running this script as a
cgi. It's not what prefer to do. However, this is only way php will work
under my user name. Perl would probably be a better alternative but I don't
know perl. If I had control of the apache server this would not be a
problem.
I have the script working, I just need to clear up these issues.
