Me too ;-).

There are however several considerations you have to remember when
providing web access via any means. Security is likely the main
concern. SQL injection attacks happen quite often, and even the best
systems fall prey to this at times. Some are of course better at fixing
the problems.

If it were me, I'd use a proven php CMS system for security control, and
then simply write a plugin/module/whatever the CMS calls it that
provides the additional functionality.

But that's me, I have done precisely this kinda thing using a variety of
CMS systems with excellent results.

As always, YMMV ;-)
