How to handle an exe from visual basic through php

[airboy]

Hi! Its my first question here and I really hope to help me because I run out of my mind!!
My question is: I have an exe, created from a visual basic project. Is there any script, code, function to manage the exe and its functions remotely from my php code? I tried COM() function but doesnt works... Please help me!!!
Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure you can call the functions of a compiled executable from outside the executable. Instead, compile to a DLL and then use COM.
