Hi,
I guess it doesn't work that way. you have to create the application again or rewrite your site in PHP. also, there are available applications on the net regarding converting ASP scripts to PHP.
good luck!

hi,
if you are just interested in the output of the ASP rather than the functionality,- then you could just include the files by opening them up as http references, and using the passthru function.

My lecturer told me that ASP is the equivalent of PHP in windows. So why not stick to one only? I prefer php 🙂

You could use PHP to output the session details into a text file in which ASP could then read it and update the session.

Hi Stevo,

Could you tell someting more about your solution? I want to use it, but I don't know how...

Hmmm, well it's not ideal, but you can open ASP pages (as long as you have an ASP server to serve them), by just using
the fopen and fpassthru functions (etc).
check the manuals for reference of these functions.

This means that you can parse the ASP output, or reformat it using string manipulation functions - then re-output it through your PHP page.

It's not very graceful,- probably very slow (depending on server/network performance), and you're probably (read definitely) much better off rewriting the stuff in PHP from scratch.....

cheers,
