php and asp code in the same page... possible?

mrfree

I've installed succesfully Apache::ASP modules and now I can use my old asp page under apache 🙂

now I need to build a page like this:
1) Security side using existing php methods
2) DB Query code written in asp

<?
// Security checks
?>

<%
// Query...
%>

It's possible???

Well im not entirely sure its possible you can however have the asp tags on. In the PHP.ini file.

However i dont see this possible even if you have asp installed on your computer on the same server.

The obvious question is; why would you want to mix languages - apart from a misplaced sense of laziness?

But see also this thread.

yes why would you want to mix such a versatile language like PHP with a boring language like ASP no offence of cource.

Simple... 🙂

I need to assemble a lot of dinamic pages generated using Micro$oft FrontPage (asp) by other person, into my webportal builded using php (I love its 😉 )

I can't phisically rewrite all pages in php 🙁

That's all...
Can you suggest me other solutions?

hmm maybe hmm no mayjor maybe

at the bottom of apaches httpd.conf add this

AddType application/x-httpd-asp .php

you would have to change the mime type to what ever asp's is this will most likely not work

Duey, your solution doesn't works 🙁

when I try to open a php file apache recognize it like a normal file and the browser tell me if I want to save it or open with an application
