Forums Scripts & Popups php with passing parameters?

Is there a way to call a php program from a mirc script & passing parameters back and forth from mirc. eg if a person types certain text, then the trigger passes the text that they typed to a php program, which then returns a response back to mirc and mirc then echos that response to the channel.

Thanks for any help / suggestions that you can provide.

Yes. If the php script is on a website you'd need sockets to send an HTTP request to the server. If the script is local on your machine it will be just like calling any executable and getting results back (in this case you'd be running the php interpreter, php.exe). There are many ways to do the latter, the simplest being to redirect the script output to a file (php myscript.php > file.txt) and then read it. Other options are to use a dll/com object to directly read and write from the process but this needs a COM or DLL script. There's a COM script called STDCatcher and a dll called exec.dll if that's what you're looking for.
