Squid proxy "authenticate_program"

[Anon]

I work at a 7-12 school, and we use the squid proxy server to accelerate web access. I've recently learned that squid contains a authenticate_program command that can be used to connect to a mysql database to authenticate users and track their surfing. The example I heard about uses perl, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience merging squid with mysql via PHP?

I'm a coding newbie, so any specific examples would be greatly appreciated!
