ASP to PHP help?

bigscanner

I have an ASP site I would like to convert to PHP.

It consists of a site template that has a "sub" function in the blank body.

For example - on the "widgets" page, the widgets.ASP page "includes" the Site Template, then in the blank body it "subs" the content of the widgets page.

Like this...
(widgets.asp)

<!--#include file="siteTemplate.asp"-->
<% Sub PageBody %>
here's the content of the widgets page
<% End Sub %>

and the siteTemplate.asp looks like this...

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
(bunch of straight HTML for the navigation)
<% PageBody %>
(closing HTML for the bottom of the page)
</body>
</html>

The INCLUDE file I can get... but what do I use for the <% PageBody %> in the Site Template and the <% Sub PageBody %>... <% End Sub %> in the individual pages?

Yep - I'm a newbie. 🙂

Have you tried in ASP to PHP converters most know what to do. Then from there you can just fix the code up to look cleaner and work more efficiently.

barand

<% Sub PageBody %>
here's the content of the widgets page
<% End Sub %>

becomes

function PageBody() {
     here's the content of the widgets page 
     instead of 'response.write()', use 'echo'
     prefix variable names with '$'
     php strings concatenated with '.' and not '&'
     any function calls will need to be translated to php equivalents
}

and the siteTemplate.php will look like this...

PHP:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
(bunch of straight HTML for the navigation)
<?php PageBody() ?>
(closing HTML for the bottom of the page)
</body>
</html>
