parsing from vb

hi, 1. I have to parse php scripts from a visual basic program without using apache or IIS or any other web server. There are several DLL's in php directory and I think I must use them. Do you have experience for this or know tutorials discribing the use of php libraries from other windows programs? Or maybe there is another simple way? For example using php.exe to parse the scripts. But I couldn't start it using parameters like php.exe script.php?par1=aaa. 2. I have a DLL written in VB with several business logic functions. How can use it in php without compiling whole php? In the same way using com objects? Thank you very much Ergin Aytac
