2 choices:
#1 (for the real hacker geek)
Compile your C program *into* PHP as a function, using the PEAR stuff.
You may need to use PHP's http://php.net/serialize function to turn your
array into a giant string and write a C routine to unserialize it, or, by
the time you get done converting your program to PEAR, it will just accept
your PHP array as an argument.
#2 (pretty slick, though...)
Run your C program using http://php.net/psockopen and use
http://php.net/fputs to spew your data at it one line at a time.
