Susan, why don't you install PEAR MAIL_Mime package and send the binary
data by email? What you want is, basically, to send data from PHP script
to an application. That is usually done through messaging/queueing
applications like MQSeries (part of WebSphere) or Tibco's RendesVous.
In the absence of such complex queueing systems, an ordinary email
might do the trick. It can be configured and played with, to make sure
that the mail ends up on the right address.
Another solution for two diverse system to communicate is to share a
database. Binary data would then be uploaded as a BLOB field and the
row pointer would be passed to the client.
