You posted in the incorrect area of the forum.
If I understand it correctly, you want to read a sensor value from your php application. You can accomplish this by setting up an http endpoint. In the documentation you will find the “cookbook” with examples. It comes down to: setup a certain url, get the sensor value, set that as a response.

As said, you can do this with a http end-point;
- update the sensor data as a flow variable
- set up an end-point which retrieves the flow variable and expose it to an url.
example flow
```auto

```
- Press the inject node.
- Open a browser tab and go to `http:///test/`
You will get the json output, this url you can use in your custom html application
