Yep. I got caught using PCP and was thrown out of the house...

Oh... you said "PHP". My bad. Nevermind then.

Arss.com is hosted on some Linux servers and uses PHP to call ASP pages on a remote Windows server, and the ASP pages use COM to call VFP routines allowing our customers access to account information in our internal systems.

Its an mad, mad, mad, mad interop world.
