I see. Now it make sense. Personally I would have gone with .Net, since
Microsoft products have a way of working better together (and not
working with those from someone else), but as you stated, it's not an
option. Give the constraints, I don't see anything better than PHP +
MySQL.

Instead of adding a layer of abstraction (i.e. complicity) with a
technology like SOAP, I would just go plain-o HTTP. Just mimic what a
browser would do.
