It's just HTTP. Your new script could pass along whatever was sent from
the browser (form data, cookies) to the existing script.

Possibly, but you said that was a WordPress script, and you didn't want
to do PHP programming.

To be honest, the whole setup looks overcomplicated. You're writing a
web application with two separate backends, two server-side languages
(PHP and whatever you're using), and two databases (one for WordPress
and one for your client's orders)? I don't know enough about your
project to advise, but if you're extending an existing WP installation,
the path of least resistance might be writing a custom WP plugin.
