PHP interacting with a multiplayer game

[Anon]

I'm curious about this. I think I saw something like this but then forgot where.

I play NBA Live 2001 for the PC and at the end of a multiplayer game(and during) I can see the game stats. Problem is, for multiplayer games the stats aren't saved in a file where I can access them. Is there a way that PHP(or any other language) could interact with the game, find the file where the stats are stored, copy the file, and download it where I can access it? Or is this something that the developers just need to have coded into the game?

sorry, but this is not the nbalive2001statsbuilder-forum buddy, but the PHPbuilder one (this xplains also why all other threads are about php and not about boring easports games).
