If I've learned one thing on this topic, it's this:
Dont muck around with the database or any of the OpenSim servers' files.  
They're prone to change and you have to run around fixing things when your 
php app doesnt do something correctly and corrupts entire grids.

I see you've already done this but I'll say it anyway: just make a simple 
interface to the xmlrpc admin commands, and implement anything more thats 
needed in the remote admin module.
