The code in question can be found at:

http://cvs.php.net/

Or you can use anonymous CVS to get the bleeding-edge version of PHP
and develop a new module for Prolog.

That would not be anything like the way MySQL works.

Though if you find it easier to do it that way, and can afford the
performance penalty of a shell execution on each query, go for it. It
would probably be fine for low-volume and maybe even moderate volume
sites. It would almost-for-sure fail miserably on a high-volume
server.

But if you're more interested in making it work today on your box than
making it work for everybody a year (or 2) from now, then that's maybe
the way to go.
