Rather than banging my head, I think I shall ask the experts first.

From a web page, using javascript, there is no way to talk and listen to a 
daemon on linux ( I gathered from folks here).

1. Using javascript I can send data to a PHP file and wait for it reply (aka 
AJAX).

2. Assume that the PHP file is on the same server running the daemon.

Question
---------

Can I do this:

I send my data to a PHP file via XmlHttpRequest; the PHP file communicates 
with the daemon and get its reply, after which the PHP will return the 
result to my javascript ?

Thanks folks (forgive me if it is stupid).
