That's because it's in DBIx::SearchBuilder rather than in the RT stuff
itself.

Also, can I just say: referential integrity. Grubbing around in the database
is just fine, so long as you're *sure* you're going to implement it in a way
that's not going to break things.

On a general note, it seems to me that expecting to simply be able to build an
RT-based application while switching from Perl to PHP is quite like expecting
to simply be able to build a house while switching from bricks to foam rubber.

But still, people want to do crazy things, which is why SOAP was invented.
A SOAP interface to RT is being worked on; I'm sure the original poster will
be in touch with Jesse to volunteer to help its development.
