The perl script works by calling the command line diatheke. It's the 
command line program that does the work of retrieving the verses. What 
the perl script does is allow you to interactively specify the 
parameters to the command line program and then display the outputs. 
Your PHP code could do just the same. This may require diatheke to 
reside in a particular directory (the PHP safe_mode_exec_dir) if the 
server is running PHP in "safe mode".

If you want to look inside the command line program, the main file is 
apps/console/diatheke/corediatheke.cpp of the Sword distribution, 
containing the function doquery. But whether you'll be able to make any 
sense out of that depends on how good you are at reading other people's 
C++ code, and really doquery is really just an interface to the API. 
You'd probably get more from reading the comments in swmgr.h. I know I do.
