Can I connect to a Goldmine Server using PHP and/or MySQL?

I finished a PHP/MySQL signup/login thing for the web page I am building for a company,
but my boss wants it to be more secure. He wants to check the first and last
names of the people who sign up in the Goldmine Database that he uses for
clients, to make sure somebody else from another company doesn't just waltz
in and get our information. This would mean that I would have to scan all
the names in the "agent" filter we have in Goldmine against the form that
has PHP running behind it..... HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH THE PHP/MYSQL SETUP I
HAVE?????

thanks in advance...
