Thanks to Gentgeen for suggesting looking at phpSANE and Jon Spriggs for
the various suggestions on how to get it working. 

It is such a simple idea and now that I have it working it works great.

I changed lots of bits and pieces but I think my problem was something
to do with settings in apache in the end. It started working when I set
a server name. I did the suid root thing as well.
