My code will probably end up on Thedailywtf.com for it, but I have a 
PHP-based system that uses PAMI to talk to the AMI interface.  There's a 
daemon process that listens for commands via a FIFO buffer.  Several 
other processes & web scripts just send commands to the controller 
process via that FIFO.

Seems to work well for me.
