ID card system in PHP

I'm at a loose end this afternoon and thought that I might and build the
UK Government's ID card system in PHP.

Could somebody lend me a ready done design?

Also I need somebody to translate the government's specification into
English as the rest of us know it? I know it's mostly content-free so
apart from the odd 'not compulsory at all whatever gave you that idea'
I'm sure you won't mind.

[FX Calculator grind grind ...Ping!] That's £100,000,000 per page.
PS. Why do I know damn well that I could do a better job blindfold than
the inevitable shambles?

Just one fundamental flaw in your proposal, Peter:

From your records in the national ID database (which of course I can
see as I am the assistant toilet cleaner at the Works & Pensions Dept
office (outsourced to Bangalore, Inc)) I can see no entry in the 'I
support Tony's Cronies fund'.

I sure that there are also problems with using PHP (doesn't cost
enough, not enough serious security problems, no 'Built for Windows
XP' logo ...)

Well I'm getting desperate. My last UK-gov application "Honours
on-line" has mysteriously been pulled. I suspect some busybodies have
got it mixed up with politics. (That was money for old rope.)

And that's to say nothing about the publicity site you built for the
Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. You know, the one that was
supposed to encourage more women to get involved with politicians...
errr... politics.
