Answer 2

I would write your PHP app so that it has a RESTful API available that the C# application can connect to. In this way, you can use a technology like WCF to communicate to your web-based API and use C# in your desktop app to present and work with the data being managed in the PHP app.

You're looking at going back about 15 years to the client-server architectures... not a bad thing, but all of the lessons we learned then are going to be applicable to you now.

You might could implement something with Adobe AIR.
