Well, I didn't remember the functions correctly, they were popen() and 
pclose().

But, maybe you should use a shell script instead?
E.g. start zsnes with:
zsnes somerom &>/dev/null & ZSNESPID=$!
sleep 5
takescreenshot
kill $ZSNESPID

and so on.

You can fetch mysql values with something like:
echo "MYSQL QUERY" | mysql --password=bahbah -B
