C# + PHP ?

I have an N-tier application that I am in the process of developing. The desktop app (presentation/frontend) will run on the desktop, and it will periodically issue requests to an (additional) business logic tier on the serverside.

I can't seem to locate any tutorials/references on using C# (desktop application developed with Winforms) and PHP on the server side.

Here is an overview of the serverside (backend) requirements:


1). Handle request to logon from the frontend (requires backend to authorize/verify user credentials)
2). Retrieve clientdata from backend database, encrypt this data and return to front end (client)
3). Implement chatroom and forum server services for use by the frontend (client)
4). Handle database requests (mostly running stored procedures) and return results to the frontend (client).

BTW - I KNOW ASP.NET is capable of doing all this at the server side, but I have my reasons for not wanting to go down the ASP.NET route.

What I want to know is if anyone has done this before (perhaps communicating from C# to PHP via a HttpRequest class)?. Any useful books/sites recommended will be much appreciated.
