Hi everyone,
im working on my final year project which is Internet Remote Control using microcontroller and an embedded ethernet board to control home devices for example...
The idea is to build a web application which will allow the owner of the house to log in and use the web site to control his house.
And since we have to programme the microcontroller which is best (& easy) programmed in Visual Basic the question comes
Can i connect PHP (the web app.) with Visual Basic (Hardware app.)?? & How?
if u have any better ideas or suggestions for connecting the web app. with the hardware app. i'll appreciate it..

Sorry for the prolonged

If you're using .NET you can use a web service (Easier with .NET sinc it's all integrated). PHP can call the web service and the Web service in turn can make some offline calls to VB. Don't have the specifics at hand (You can probably use the SOAP, Web Services forums for details).
