You should check with Crystal Report's COM+ Application specifications.

PHP can invoke COM objects

OR, if you're having difficulties with that, you'll find it easier to write a wrapper in .NET for the CrystalReports functionality that you need, assemble it into a COM-visible DLL, register it with regasm and invoke it as a standard COM application from PHP.
