Just as a warning, the server code is starting to make it's appearance in this release. The eventual outcome of this is that you will be able to go to
https://mineforeman.io/ to manage your mining... at present all it does is erroneously tell you your mining rig is out of date though

.
Any reason you are going this route instead of improving your already existing MobileMiner support? There are many features MinePeon could be using (easily), but is not (such as switching pools, switching coins, etc).
What I am doing is just an alternative to MobileMiner. Having said that, I would love to have MobileMiner support for pool switching etc but the author of the MobileMiner plugin does not support it (yet).
I also still have a wired idea that one day MinePeon will become my full time job. At the moment, with the current feature set, the public have spoken and it seems I must do better

! (I will never make donations compulsory though)
I'd be happy to give any and all assistance. I'm not a PHP developer but the MobileMiner API is super simple REST calls (documented at
http://www.mobileminerapp.com/#api). If you or anyone else wants to pick up the PHP addon I'd be happy to assist.
There's also some Python implementations available as well that have been updated recently. They may be an easier starting point? There's several scripts available at
http://www.mobileminerapp.com/#minersAgain - always happy to help if there are any questions. Just give a shout.
