Problem you will run into is the protection scheme required for maildrop filters. IN particular, they can only be accessible by the straight user, which causes some problems for a php based solution.

One idea is simply to modify maildrop to relax the security requirements. That was going to be my way.

That's indeed a problem for some!

In my case, I'm not so worried; all the users are virtual, meaning that all mail (and all maildrop files) are owned by the same userid, which nobody logs into. That's a different user than my web user, but for me gluing the two together shouldn't be too painful.

If you're going to bend maildrop to fit your setup, I'd suggest either a carefully written setuid wrapper for your filter editor or letting maildrop accept files with group permissions as long as it's for a special group that only the web-based filter editor is in.
