[San-Diego-pm] Using a PHP script as a function

[Christopher Hart]

hi,

make sure "../dev/plant_editor/getPlantList.php" has a php shebang
#!/usr/bin/env php or whatever.. so it can run from CLI
also, take out the url-encoded get parameters since perl wont be calling it
in a browser.

You may actually need to grab those vars from $argv or w/e the PHP mechanism
for cmd line args is.. as opposed to $_POST or $_GET.

:) Good Luck!
