I'm wondering why you decided to wrote this in php. WSH + jscript or
vbscript seems to be the "platform of choice" for COM-based scripting.

It's true that those are the platforms of choice, and that's not
surprising. They are Microsoft products that specifically tried to
get people to use those technologies, and they had support for it from
pretty much the beginning. Furthermore, they are quite stable
(especially since development on them has stopped). So they've got
native support, stability, and user base going for them. Not
surprising at all. Plus, the vbscript newsgroups are some of the best
on the block.

Nevertheless, I find PHP much friendlier to use. It's got a far
larger assortment of functions for string, array, and regExp
manipulation, and perhaps most importantly, it is MUCH faster. Almost
everything that you can do in COM, you can do with the COM support
that PHP has. To such an extent that I can write native PHP, full
blown GUI apps, with no third party requirements beyond that of having
PHP (but not PHP-GTK) on a standard windows environment.

The CLI doesn't involve any server. I even use it for shell scripts. Of
course you can write applications in PHP that don't communicate via HTTP
with some other. As far as I understand the OP is using PHP for writing
some kind of Windows application and wants to capture messages sent by
another app.

No, it doesn't. But it requires the user to have PHP on the client
machine, and PHP has no security features. This would leave his machine
wide open to anything the PHP script might want to do.

There is no way I would load PHP on my machine because a web site
required it. And no person with any sense would. Additionally, very
few users with no knowledge of PHP are going to load it on their system,
configure it, etc. If they do, they're opening themselves up to all
kinds of problems.

Good argument. VB/VBScript string processing is horrible; Javascript's is
better, but that's not saying much.

Is there a straightforward way of implementing a PHP equivalent to
window.setTimeo ut?

I think, the combination of tick and connections functions are what
you need:

1. http://in.php.net/declare
2. http://in.php.net/connection-handling
