Ok, so I have a PHP script, and I also have a program written in Pascal, it's compiled in the native executable for whatever OS the server is running. I want to have the user input info and then send that info to the Pascal program to call a function and send the info as parameters. Is there any sort of server side call I can do to do this? Or is my only option making some sort of connection such as SOAP between PHP and the Program?You could try shell_exec(). Eg: $output = shell_exec('.usr/bin/foo ' . escapeshellarg($_POST['foo'])); -- Richard Heyes 0844 801 1072 http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software
