As Axel noted, there are almost certainly cleaner/better/quicker

"open" as "open in script editor").
Another option would be to use Python or Ruby instead of PHP since
both have excellent support for web programming _and_ application
scripting. [1] For example, Omni recently released a very neat web
interface for OmniFocus using Ruby on Rails and rb-appscript:

Obviously, you still have to deal with the same security and window
server issues that others have mentioned, but if you're looking to
integrate web and desktop applications then it'd certainly be worth
exploring.

[1] FWIW, I did consider porting appscript to PHP, but 'security'
restrictions in newer versions mean that adding third-party C
extensions a major PITA for users so I've not pursued it.
