i will rewrite the whole thing in php. i hated modifying on other people's codes (or your own codes but on different languages or different databases.). i had to finish 4 big projects, 35% to 75% done by someone else, 3 ASP 1 PHP. everytime, it ended up that the time i spent on modifying other people's codes on each project was much more than the time if i rewrote it from scrach.
plus, if php is the one you are going to use more in the future, the time you rewrote it in php is not wasted too much. many small details you will catch now. many codes you can reuse in the future.

I used to Code ASP, but now i perhaps need to convert one of my Websides into PHP cause the company which needs the websystem has only Linux Systems. I can't Use Chillsoft ASP, because it does not support Access DB and the company wants PHP (They would use ASP + Chilsoft as makeshift).
I Think there are two Ways, and i would like to know, how many time i will have to spend for.
Convert all Database Code to Mysql and then use Chillsoft ASP.
Convert everything to PHP.
What is the best Way (Are there any Problems using Chillsoft ASP). How much time do you guess will be needed to convert the scripts into PHP or the MS Access DB Code to MySQL (there are about 50 Pages, some are very short, some about 200 rows but mixed up with a lot of HTML, every uses the Database, Includes, Sessions, etc. are used). I never coded a line PHP an never used MYSQL.
Did somebody do this before - any experiences ?
Thanks for your opinions.
