iptables web interface 2

[mragain]

I'm trying to add some functionality to my Linux router so an end user could easily turn on/off tcp ports. I'm hoping there is a simple way of creating a web page with a few different buttons that once pushed would say disable routing of port 80, and then another button to turn it back on.

Any ideas?

You can look at

http://www.webmin.com

or write a cgi in perl or php to do it.

I would like to use perl or php, but have no idea what kind of syntax it would take. I've looked at several books, but didn't find any references to running contained scripts on the box.

php has a shell_exec() function that lets you execute command or script files. You could have two php functions to add and remove rules from iptables.
