This is not only slow, but also a security hole, as it allows to execute
arbitrary commands from within $QUERY_STRING.
Have a look at the contrib section at ftp://ftp.htdig.org instead.
I have uploaded a (nearly) complete wrapper class there some time ago
which
also has some documentation in the source how to set up a wrapper with
PHP.
Furthermore, to increase speed (by omitting an additional shell level),
a
patch should be applied to htsearch, which allows issueing search
queries
on the command line (either it is in the same archive as the wrapper
class
or somewhere in the mailing list archives).
