Answer 1

PhpGedView does exactly this, and is open source. You should be able to find plenty of code samples within the project.

Answer 2

If you are open to java, you can use gedcom4j at http://gedcom4j.org. It can read and write GEDCOM files in both the 5.5 and 5.5.1 format and stores the data in a java object graph so you can manipulate it as needed after loading/before writing. You could also hook that into whatever database framework you want (I would never recommend GEDCOM as a database format, but it essential for data interchange). There are plenty of ORM solutions to persist java object graphs to databases (hibernate being the one I'm most familiar with)

Answer 3

This is a complementary answer about gedcom4j Frizbog. I am using gedcom4j java library.This library is very good and accurate .Only problem that I found is :http://gedcom4j.org/ at this time is down or does not exist and we cannot return to original documents and sample codes of the author. I could not find any address from Frizbog.At this time I only could read and update an gedcom instance I cannot to write a read gedcom 5.5 instance to a file.
