PHP.exe - how do I get the output (html) from it in VB?

[Jamie_Dowd]

I want to be able to shell("c:\php\php -f c:\jamie.php") and pipe the output to a variable.

Also, how do I get output back when the link is for example:

"c:\php\php -f c:\jamie.php?step=2"

The php interpreter doesn't give me anything back.
