Asp + Php?

[EJMack]

is there anyway to combine asp and php?

[Mark Hensler]

Not in the same file. If your server supports both, than you could execute one with the other. Similar to including PERL scripts in you PHP pages.

[EJMack]

how do you execute perl scripts in php?:)

[tbloom2002]

couldnt you do...

include "file.asp";


? hehe.. probably not.. I suck at these things, hehe.

<?
exec("perl /path/to/perlfile.cgi > /dev/null'");
?>

thats for unix

for Win32

<?
exec("C:\perl\perl.exe c:\www\perlfile.cgi");
?>

There is an option in php.ini:

; Allow ASP-style <% %> tags.
asp_tags = Off

[Mark Hensler]

That just allows for the open/close tags, it still doesn't interpret VBScript.

[Lesane]

Yes, thats tru

[EJMack]

so i take it there is no way to do this?

i posted on how to execute perl in php, though asp is a different matter.

i dont understand why would you want to execute ASP script with PHP ? PHP isnt enough for you or you cant make a script in PHP that work like that ASP script ?

anyway .. you can run ASP with PERL i think ... thats known as Apache :: ASP ... or something similar that :)
