Can this be done?

I need to build the following report. I need to query an Oracle database, and list a username and userid, then I need to look at several directories, and determine which files belong to which user, based on the user id and a piece of the filename matching. then I need to count these files, and calculate the total number of files, the oldest file, the total size of the files, and the path, per user. I Also need to be able to sort on all of this criteria. i.e. by username, file date, total number of files, total size of files, and path. Can this be done in PHP 4? Is this a terribly daunting task? Is there a better tool set out there for this task? can ant examples of functions used here be sited?
