php/exe integration

[macdumbpling]

Hi.

I have to write an windows application that sits on a server and sends variables to a php web page. I currently am using flash and MDM, but that's far too slow and we're looking for something a little cleaner.

Any suggestions would be wonderful!

Thank you,
Kevin Biesbrock

Any windows application that has access to the internet (via ActiveX control or through the winsock API) should be able to send variables to a PHP script. If you can access 'http://localhost/myscript.php?my_variables_here' you can pass the variables you want to send to your PHP script.

My concern is, though, that I will have to open a new browser window to run the page...should it be possible with any programming language to just run the script?

Of course it is! Are you really the one writting this application?
