Hello, I would like to build a metro style chat app. However I would like to run PHP on an Apache Server and I would like to write my app in Visual C++. What would the best method be to send data from the client to the server and vice-versa?

That is totally up to you!

You can use simple HTTP messaging but then you would have to poll the HTTP service. It is probably best to use sockets and communicate that way.

Some sample code can be found in Bing: http://www.bing.com/search?q=c%2B%2B+chat+protocol&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=c%2B%2B+chat+protocol&sc=0-12&sp=-1&sk=&ghc=1
