Capturing the input is quite easy:
<form action="<?php echo basename(__FILE__); ?>" method="post">
<textarea name="text"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<?php
if(!empty($_REQUEST['text']))
{
$filename = 'tmp/'.time() . '.txt';
file_put_contents($filename, $_REQUEST['text']);
}
?>
The outputted file can then be processed by the .exe using the system
command.
<?php
system('myexe.exe ' . $filename);
?>
Then take the return of the .exe output and mail it to the client using
the mail function.
<?php
mail('client@somewhere.com', 'heres that file', $filename);
?>
Just some ideas. If you give more information about the processing,
there may be a better solution then calling an .exe file.
