Asp & Php

[Sapper]

Is it possible for a string passed from an asp page to be picked up and interpreted by a php page.

For instance when you login through an asp page the page then passes on a string to the following page to tell you to show details only relating to the person who logged in ie strTeamID

Now when the next page it views is a php page is there a way for it to pick up that passed strTeamId and continue using it so that it knows to only show the data relating to strTeamID.

I presume there must be a way around it but can't find any examples in any of the books I have, any help would be appreciated.

Thanx

i once used post variables to pass data between an asp page and a php page, and it worked exactly as one would expect it to: ie my asp page had a form i think and it's action was a php page, method was POST. I also think i used one once and did a meta refresh from an asp page to page.php?variable=value etc and then had access as you would expect (through $_POST["variable"] if globals are off, or just $variable if they're on).

That might be of use to you. I presume even if you're using IIS say to parse both the PHP and the ASP then you can use sessions stuff too, but only if it's on the same server, and even then it may need some tweaking. I'd be interested to hear if you manage it with just normal variables though.

you can do the form thing from HTML to PHP, no matter what put it there. I not that well versed in ASP but if all else fails you can send it through the URL.

There should be absolutely no problem with that, sending it as POST or GET methods. ASP and PHP both use the same HTTP requests, because the browsers are dumb, and can only send the one thing 😉

Thanks again,

I will try it out and see if it works, hopefully the two will merge or I will have to start from scratch lol...
