Thanks for the quick reply and clearing up my confusion about hook scripts.
I will check out svn's own tree as you suggest.
I have not come across SWIG before, but if someone is able to point me
in the right direction with some FAQs, general guidelines on how to
start, then I will have a bash (pun intended!) at creating some PHP
bindings.
I am a software developer, have been writing C and C++ code for 15+ years.
