Depends how you define communicate - generally it's the method of interprocess
communication that matters rather than what language the other process was
written in.

Simple command line parameters? http://php.net/system
Pass data via stdin/stdout? http://php.net/proc_open
Sockets? (UNIX, TCP, etc.) http://php.net/sockets
Loaded as a library/extension? http://php.net/manual/en/zend.creating.php
