Not getting lynx involved would improve performance. (system() off a
process that does an HTTP GET/POST to your web server w/ a script parser
... bit of an expensive operation to get a piece of data into a database.)
It'd be more straight forward to have elcid insert into your DB.
Then you could reserve your PHP scripts for displaying what's in the DB.
