How can we embed PHP var in ASP file?

phper2

Hello there,

Is there any way to use a PHP var ($page_title) inside an ASP file?

I am gradually migrating from ASP/MS Access to PHP/MySQL but for the time being have to keep my Front Page generated ASP pages connected to MS Access db.

My system is W2k pro, IIS5, PHP5.

The ASP page I would like to mingle with PHP already contains included php file:

The header.php contains the following code, I am expecting to work from within my ASP pages the same way it works from within my PHP files:

All I want to do is to find a way to assign a value for $page_title inside ASP file.

Is it doable?

Thanks,

you could always cheat and include the php as if it were javascript and have the php page actually produce the javascript.

file "../includes/header.php" would be

<?
echo "document.write('<title>".$page_title ."</title>');";
?>

-or-

<?
echo "document.title='".$page_title ."';";
?>

then in your ASP page:

<SCRIPT SRC="../includes/header.php"></SCRIPT>

I've used this trick to add php to pages on a server where I couldn't install php for one reason or another.

Thanks biggus, I am going to play around your idea. I thought of JavaScripts path as well.

Including you JavaScript code inside my php header file is clear to me but I am not sure about how to assign a value to $page_title var in my ASP page. You are suggesting the following code for my ASP:

I don't see where my $page_title comes into play.

Many thanks,

where was $page_title coming from before? If it's a query or something, then have that php execute before producing the javascript.
