I can't do this. The page was broken when I found it. There are too 
many versions of PHP and too many ways to read a simple variable from 
the query and use it in a function. I don't know which way to use 
because I don't know which version of PHP is running on wwwmain. I 
can't even look it up in old manuals, because I don't know which old 
manuals apply.

The page works on my PHP test server (more recent version, I guess). I 
don't have an account on wwwmain and it updates from CVS very slowly, 
so I can't easily test things on it. I am reluctant to add many test 
pages to CVS because CVS doesn't really support moving files around. I 
am going to delete downloads.php if I get no help and replace it with 
something else, not in PHP.

In summary: I hate PHP and this is a good example of why.
