Yes in multiple ways. First off you need to figure out if you have the
source for the C application. If so you can use sockets, the MySQL client
API, and various other connectivity methods. Since it's using a script I'm
assuming it's not an extremely high concurrency application, then using the
MySQL client API would be the most robust option. The only other way to do
it without the source, at least that comes to mind, would be to output a
file from PHP if the C application takes input from a file. Regards.

P.S. Try to elaborate a bit more with your requests next time.
