Depends on the future possibilies vs the current budget.

If time and money is unlimited you designed a plug in architecture so you can change backends at well.

If portability is a concern, pipes are the easiest to port system to system. Just be careful to use only the most brain dead one-way pipes. Smile | :)

If the same box, or the no multiple users requirement might be relaxed latter, then you should consider network sockets because they are more easially extended.

Note, the above assumes the apps are already mostly done. If you are in the early design stages, then php (or .asp) is the way to go. Web browsers are pretty good database front ends, and (unless you do something stupid) allow the user to choose what platform to run on. This system also gives you, for almost free, things like security that you really should be considering, but is too complex for most people to bother with until it is too late.
