Here’s a Raspberry Pi hack that adds web control using PHP and MySQL (http://code.google.com/p/raspberrypi-gpio/). As you can see in the image, it serves up a webpage (using the Apache2 server) which allows you to change the state of the GPIO pins. It’s not super-complicated, but it is nice to see a step-by-step guide for installing and configuring the package (http://www.instructables.com/id/Web-Control-of-Raspberry-Pi-GPIO).
Web interface GPIO control is one of the features we loved about the Adafruit Web IDE (http://hackaday.com/2012/10/06/web-ide-for-the-raspi/). But this offering is loaded completely from the RPi (the Adafruit package uses cloud based code) and utilizes the tools most Linux network admins will be used to. A MySQL database manages the connection between GUI commands and GPIO modification. The webpage is served up by a PHP script which takes care of polling and changing database values. Configuration requires a new database, plus the username and password which has access to it.
