I found the frameworks on this page to be helpful in building special pages

So, you have a script which basically pops up an HTML form? Sounds like you want to make a new special page. This would be a page that you can link to, and which can access MW's security features - so you can restrict it to people who have confirmed email addresses, eg.
Find another extension that does something similar, and merge your code into it.

All,
Not sure what the correct terminology is, assuming it might be a hook or extension. Either way - I have existing scripts which I've written in PHP that simply allow users to change their LDAP password, etc. I'm looking to throw this code (it's just a form with basic PHP+LDAP support) into MediaWiki so users can change their password from there. Currently I have it linked as an external link and for security purposes, this isn't favorable.
Is there any suggestions on how I can begin to go about this? The correct documentation etc would be much preferred.
Thanks all!
- Steve
