<unlurk> I'm unlurking because I am pretty shocked at this request... The RESULTs portal (2002) operated with full OAI-PMH capabilities (it was actually the first full implementation of the JISC IE) and was written in PHP. Unfortunately it was shut down and none of the www.results.ac.uk links in this Ariadne article that Andy Powell and myself wrote work, but it may possibly still be of some use: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue34/powell/ I guess the code for RESULTs will be available in the JISC archives somewhere.
