web - PowerBuilder and PHP -

please excuse distinct lack of knowledge in field. software development not forte.

i commence work on project of there large system built using powerbuilder oracle enterprise database serve data up.

i want build nicer interface system , believe possible use web technologies (my background) so. can confirm if possible use php powerbuilder or there way in can interface build powerbuilder?

i don't think there "good" way incorporate pb & php if there there way.

one unusual possible way of mixing technologies might write iis handler powerbuilder.net, or build handler using visual studio , call powerbuilder .net assembly handler. find easier build handler using visual studio myself because had problems getting pb.net inherit httphandler or using .net interface. doing re-inventing asp.net processes .asp files , kicks out html/javascript/css,etc , you'd writing handler different file extension (say .pb or .powerbuilder) , spitting out favorite web code based on filename and/or arguments used in url.

i made not long ago see if , wasn't difficult. i'll post code on pb blog. i've seen implementation of using cgi older technology, not using handler busy sites.

again wasn't answer looking answer. luck.
