Of course you can do this.
Which of your clients do you think would be willing to pay me to develop 
all the subroutines in PHP ?

You will never be able to go completely away from UniBASIC while keeping a 
U2 database.  I don't think that's possible.  How do you even address the 
database without going through the low-level read write core ?  You have to 
scan the file structure, with a knowledge of groups and delimiters and link 
space and then be able to extract the records, and put them back... by frame. 
and append when necessary and relink.  That's a lot of code.

But you can certainly create the routines in PHP that do the file 
manangement with the UniBASIC relegated to just the middle level of read-write 
processing and nothing else, and then start building your PHP routines on *top* 
of 
these.
