Subject: Reimplementation address book program

On one of my servers (linux) I have a nice address book over ldap.
It is automatically integrated with thunderbird and other programs,
but none of them is capable of modifying (or at least easily).

Since I want it very simple and error prone I did it myself, but in
PHP.

It works pretty fine but every time I look to the code I get disgusted
and I haven't still added some necessary features, so given that I
want to rewrite it in ruby, I need some hints..

I may use rails in the future but I want to start very smoothly, it
was implemented in php + smarty, and that's fine like approach.

I only need 2 things:
- insert a new record
- modify a record from a list
Sorting searching etc are not really necessary, and integrity checks
should be done with javascript (as it is now).

I want to do it as smart and possible, because mainly I want to learn
and not less important I want to maintain code that I like...
THanks for any hints
