The script was found at PHP Classes, a resource I regularly tap into.  You’ll discover that PHP Classes requires registration, but it’s free and you can disable any email notifications.  Also, don’t be turned off by the website’s aesthetics, they were apparently going for “functional”.  Hey, it worked for Craigslist.
