I don't think there's a problem with letting you see our code, but I'm
not at all certain it's what you're looking for.  I read your original
request to be looking for an API layer that you can call from php to
perform afs functions such as vos, pts, etc.  That's not what we have.

The project we did was essentially user-level token handling for a web
server.  This was to allow us to create web pages where our users can
authenticate via ssl and then do things like set their mail forwarding,
change their password, opt in or opt out of spam filtering, turn on or
off vacation replies and enter the reply text, etc.  There's nothing
here that provides an afs API.  We would still be invoking any needed
afs functions by calling external programs.

This was basically our reinvention of a wheel already invented by the
folks at University of Iowa.  I tried to contact them beforehand to see
if we could get their code, but they never responded to my e-mail.  :-(
