title: Can php and C++ run on the same server and communicate in a web site?
body: <p>I have a client that wishes to have a website written that involves a fairly simple cms driven website that sorts and displays daily reports. The website will require subscriptions and include membership, free trials, etc...</p>
  
  <p>Originally I was going to write the site in PHP, as none of the requirements are too heavy and I am very experienced in it. However, after speaking with the client, he has worked closely with someone who has a C++ product that offers a workflow that includes the entire process of handling subscriptions, logins, and trials and (apparently) can be used on a web platform.</p>
  
  <p>This throws a wrench into my original plan, because even though I know C++ I have never had to deploy it on a webserver or have it communicate with PHP. I've already written a good deal of the site in PHP, so would prefer not having to re-write.</p>
  
  <p>Can I have the two communicate on the same server? What would be required to do so? Would it be worth my time or should I just decide to scrap PHP and use C++? Or should I tell my client he's nuts?</p>
  
  <p>That's about all the info I have about the project right now. Not sure if I can provide much more info, but will try if it's needed.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for all answers.</p>
