IMHO, you're better off using LDAP rather than an SQL-based solution. At
least, if sharing the user-information between Zope and PHP is the only
reason for using a RDBMS. LDAP is quite well supported by PHP, and you
could for example use the Zope LDAPLoginAdapter
(http://www.zope.org/members/jens/LDAPLoginAdapter) on the Zope side of
life, which quite well documented, incl. some examples.
