Based on the description of how to use Perl/CURL*1 to interact with OPF admin site, I created a PHP script to create a chat room, listed as follows. Notes about the PHP script, error information is output into /var/log/httpd/error_log. Native PHP libcurl did not work due to, 'Your browser does not support Javascript' call errors returned from the access.

HTH,
