Is there some open source project I can refer to?
I'm using PHP.
Anyone knows?
It's too complex to set up.

Have you tried? It only requires two files (the site says), where one actaully wraps latex in a class, and the other contains a convenience function.

I've tried about half a dozen of the available solutions. The best I've seen is QuickLaTeX which has a WordPress plugin which could easily be adapted to other platforms. It has better vertical alignment than the other solutions. There is a list of most of the available solutions at http://sixthform.info/steve/wordpress/?p=59

The code is very clean and logical

Download the Wikipedia engine and analyze how it renders formulas.
That's a general "how do I implement..." solution: remember where you might have met the feature you're looking for, then download the sources and use them/their ideas.
If you're looking for a pure PHP script that renders TeX -- you'll fail: no one dares to implement a script of that complexity. Even if you find one, it won't support all the nice packages provided by the TeX community!
All solutions use command-line TeX builders. NEVER invent bicycles until you're sure your bicycle has a chance of becoming the best ;)

I think it's a general rule that if you're looking for a pure <insert non-C language here> way to render TeX - you'll fail. Every method I've seen of rendering TeX uses TeX under the hood.

Which is also the point, no? All tex renders the same, regardless of where
