Running external scripts with exec is nearly always a bad idea. 
Especially in PHP.

A lot of people pick a language to use just because they already know it 
- but it's very likely there's a much better way.

Yes, mods-enabled in v3.

Whatever you want. The attributes with rlm_exec are passed on stdin, so 
you need to read them, parse them, and output any reply attributes on 
stdout.

Yes, running an external script will slow things down. Use unlang 
wherever possible (and it's nearly always possible).

Use the sql module and unlang, rather than an external script.
