Tsfreaks	Great question to ask on the forums. :) In fact, there are a number of threads discussing the very topic. Search for your keywords to learn more. Short answer. Yes, BYOND can communicate with external applications. ts

Airjoe	You cannot host a BYOND world via MySQL/PHP, or any strictly web server, for that matter. You will need a shell server on which you can install BYOND and run persistent processes. There is a BYOND web interface, called DMCGI, but it's not what you're looking for.
