When you run a silverlight application, you basically download a .xap file (with dlls inside). Those are executed on your machine. I'm no PHP expert but I seem to recall that PHP is executed server-side - so now you know the difference.

In order to communicate with the server you can use one of the popular methods :

  • use a WCF Webservice
  • use a WCF Ria WebService
  • use a WCF REST Webservice
  • use Sockets

I'm not sure but I think that using a WebClient object is also possible with a POST verb (you'd need to look it up though).

You can access silverlight.net's learning section for some good videos about using WCF services or hand-on labs. I'd also recommend Matthew McDonald's Pro Silverlight (3 or 4) books, those have some good socket examples.

Hope that helps.

Regards
