is there away to use an already developed and functional .NET dll from php?

If it's on a Windows server then maybe. Unless it's your own server, your web hosting company would need to be involved and they probably wouldn't agree. You could try it locally by defining it as a PHP extension in the php.ini file but it might not be compatible with PHP.
