you can use following to call php pages from your vb.net coding

System.Net.WebRequest
System.Net.WebResponse

Ex : [call a page and get response]

Private Function IsConnectionAvailable(ByVal _URL As String) As Boolean
    'Call url
    'http://www.google.com/
    'http://www.google.co.in/search?sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=mitac.co.in&btnG=Search
    Dim url As New System.Uri(_URL)

    'Request for request
    Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest
    req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)
    req.Timeout = 5000
    Dim resp As System.Net.WebResponse
    Try
        resp = req.GetResponse()
        resp.Close()
        req = Nothing
        Return True
    Catch ex As Exception
        req = Nothing
        Return False
    End Try
End Function
