I am looking for some assistance, point in the right direction, on how i would successfully apply a interface that is php, an engine that is run off a unix system through telnet, and a data storage in MySQL?
Let me know if this is getting too complicated

I am looking at either pfsocketopen or fsocketopen but not sure about transmitting data between the php interface and the gcc compiled engine.
if interested in talking... email me at:
