Um, well the easiest thing to do is:

1) stick the files on your webserver somewhere (e.g. www.mydomain.com/pcom)
2) Modify the top lines of each .php file so that the ip address is that 
of your asterisk server, and the username and password match a username 
and password configured in manager.conf
3) Change the config on your polycom phone via the web browser rather 
than hacing away at the xml. Once logged in, click on the microbrowser 
link option (I think it is in the general section), leave the proxy 
server line blank, and just put www.mydomain.com/pcom or wherever in as 
the address.

Click on OK. The phone reboots and the xml config files will 
automatically update (assuming you allow TFTP uploads on your TFTP server).

And then it just works!
