with the caveat that it'll only work as a GET request (which probably means no
cigar for you),
and requires that your php is setup to allow open urls (ini setting
'allow_url_fopen')
$response =
file_get_contents('http://your.iis.machine/some/path/some_isapi.dll?foo=bar');
otherwise the fsockopen() route is all that seems to be open to you, given that
curl reliance
is a no-no. - the biggest factor in the response speed is likely to be the
server at the other
end (assuming the network connection between the 2 machines is generally ok),
so if things
are slow you might consider caching the results locally (again, assuming that
this is feasable.)
is the isapi extension on the same machine?
if so maybe it has a COM interface with which you can talk to it?
http://php.net/com
no idea if that is feasible - I've never really used IIS, let alone had to deal
with isapi extensions.
