My experience level with PHP is n00bie am I am use a proprietary accounting/inventory system running off of Linux www.abcsinc.com. This system has the capability to import export xml if a script is passed with an argument i.e.. to get a file of all the inventory in xml format, at the command line pass the command in the right directory $user@localhost: :dbrslexe -s bwinvlvl.app > /tmp/out.xml will send an xml formatted file of the inventory called out.xml in /tmp. I am trying to learn how to call a script or pass a command from a web server running apache, php and mysql on the Linux server with proprietary account/inventory system, grabbing the xml formatted file and then use it in a useful way on a webpage. My problem is that I do not know how to approach this issue. Not asking for a babysitting, just looking for a suggestion or point in the right direction.
