I own a web server running Windows (WAMP). I want to know the best way to implement a Rest API (a very simple one) in order to let a user do something.

I have programming skills, in fact, I developed a web server in VB6 who process the queries and when it finds the command (http:/serverIP/webform.php?cmd=run&item=any) it does something, but I really want to develop a solution using the WAMP server.
Some people consider the solution of executing a exe when a command is detected a bad solution for security issues, but this specific project I have is for the use by some people (trusted people) who dont have intentions of hacking the server.
So, what do you think?
Remember:
- Its not a public API, its for some people and some programs who will use the API
- Its a very simple one, only one command using POST or GET.
Thanks
