This has nothing to do with making a script but may be a simpler way for
you to do things.  If I recall there is a function in Apache to
automatically enable user webpages.  You would access these with
http://servername/~t.name#  the ~ says this is a user website and points
it to the html folder by default in the users home directory.  I cannot
remember exactly the syntax for setting this up or what it is called but
there is usually a sample section in httpd.conf.

This will of course enable user pages for all users that have a html
folder in their user directory.  Just another line of thinking for you
to ponder.
