I have used PHP for many non-web based purposes and applicatons.  The on I
like the most is using it to access a database and send responses to
requests on listening sockets.  In this particular instance, I used PHP to
gather information about files and file systems (using glob) and passing
that via sockets as well.  This from someone who has spent the last 20 years
doing backend Unix socket applications in C/C++.  I wouled highly recommend
you keep an open mind about PHP and consider it in every phase of design.
