I think we would be better off cleaning up the admittedly messy PHP code and possibly adding in my C parser (if I ever get around to getting the ugly list syntax working).

It's suicidally insecure.
That's rediculous - just because C can be insecure doesn't mean it has to be. We rely on PHP every day, which, surprise surprise, is written in C. What do you think PHP is? It's just a C program that interprets specially formatted HTML and runs a bunch of internal C functions. As such, it is just as suspect to buffer overflows and what-not as any custom written C code that we might write.
