Speed is not not everything in life. Who cares about speed? I don't. I use slow .Net to make DCOM and SOAP calls to do different server functions to Powershell. Some of the biggest sites on the net run .Net and PHP and have an uptime of infinite 9. PHP-Facebook --- Myspace-.Net. All calls for myspace are made to .cfm? -> .Net backend. That said I believe you could do it in PHP. John
