Re: Need to call VB from PHP script. Is this hard to do?

you can use the ill-named "fopen". eg, $fp = fopen (http://www.example.com/vbscript.asp?a=1&b=2, "r"); you then have to parse the output of the asp to determine the result of the script execution. ie, $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); then preg_match $contents for success or failure code. It's not elegant, but I've used this brute force approach and it works. <karen97214@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:20030908225513.17149.qmail@web80513.mail.yahoo.com... > Have visual basic script to open text file and > validate contents.
