Subversion PHP API like the one at php.net?

Question

I was hoping for a PHP based SVN API like this one here (http://php.net/manual/en/book.svn.php)

It does look a bit experimental but it's on the PHP website. I'm wondering what would be required/recommended to make this work, or what alternatives there might be available (other than something like exec in PHP)

Thanks

EDITED: THE .htaccess CODE BELOW WORKS, BUT only if you change it to read "Action php53-cgi /php53.cgi" first!

You could possibly install this with a PECL package. You would have to download and install PECL and the package,

# Create an install directory
mkdir ~/pecl_install
cd ~/pecl_install
# Download the last version of Imagick (as seen at http://pecl.php.net/package/svm)
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/svm-0.1.3.tgz
# Unpack and get inside the extracted dir
tar xzvf svm-0.1.3.tgz
cd svm-0.1.3
# Generate the configuration script
phpize53
# Configure for php53 and make
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php53-config
make
# Create a folder where the custom PHP extensions would live
mkdir ~/php53-exts
# Copy the compiled extension to the custom folder
cp modules/pecl_svn.so ~/php53-exts/
# (Optional) Link the default server extensions inside the new folder, so they are still accessible
ln -s /usr/local/lib/php53/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/* ~/php53-exts/

# Customize the php.ini file of the desired web application, so that it loads the new extension
# MAKE SURE to replace 'htdocs' with the specific application you are enabling this for
echo "extension_dir = $HOME/php53-exts" >> ~/webapps/htdocs/php.ini
echo "extension = pecl_svn.so" >> ~/webapps/htdocs/php.ini

The above code was modified from another module and is untested, but should in general work.
