title: Can PHP Connect to an OPC Server?
body: <p>I'm having a difficult time finding out if PHP can connect to an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opc_server" rel="noreferrer">OPC server</a>, and how. Our PHP is running on Unix with an Apache webserver. The OPC server is on Windows, that's the most I know about it at this time. Both servers are on the same network.</p>
  
  <p>Easy on the explanations, please :) I'm used to only using PHP to connect to databases.</p>
  
  <p>Research:<br>
  <a href="http://www.opclabs.com/Products/QuickOPCCOM.aspx" rel="noreferrer">QuickOPC-COM</a> requires a Windows-based server.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
