Completely Daft Question

I have written and applicaiton in VB (yuck but that's what the client
wants) and part of the application involves importing and processing
text files.

For that I turned to php;-) for all its processing power as a shell script.

Now here is the daft question.

How would I go about embedding the php_dll in my vb application and use
it to process a script ??? if its even possible !!!!

ooh VBA. I hope it has better documentation than 3 years ago.
PHP has two versions, the exe and the dll. I think for the DLL part you
have better chances in a VBA group. For the exe part, check this list or
the internet for [PHP commandline].

For the exe part, check this list or

Didn't think calling that from VB -
ta - problem solved
