PHP, frames and ASP

Jon12345

I have an asp page (thankyou.asp) on a Windows server that needs to trigger this code:

<?php $id=2; include('http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode.php');?>

It is basically a tracking tag to say someone has reached the thankyou.asp page. But the tracking script is on a php/linux site.

Questions:

How can I trigger that code? Can I put an iframe on thankyou.asp that refers to a page at www.mysite.com/page.php which then has the above code on it?
Are there any other solutions?

Thanks,

Jon

What do you meen by trigger that code? What code? do you meen the code in myphpcode.php?

Try...

<!--#include file = "http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode.php"-->

I mean the person will be viewing a asp page which is located on my windows server. But I need a tracking code to be triggered. This isn't a problem if I had a php page as all I would do is add somewhere on the page this:

<?php $id=2; include('http://www.mysite.com/myphpcode.php');?>

But since it is an asp page, I can't do that. Therefore, I am wondering if I could have mypage.php stored on mysite.com which has that include on it. Then, I could put an iframe on my asp page so that it is loaded and therefore the include statement is run.

Does that make sense?

No, it makes no sense.

Including code from remote servers is something which SHOULD NOT BE DONE, under any circumstances.

If you simply want to send a message to the remote server, don't use include() !

If you just want to send a message to the remote server, I suggest that you consider either letting the client-side do it (e.g. an image or iframe with the PHP page as its source), or making a server-server connection, which you can do under some circumstances in ASP by using a COM class MSXML.XmlHttpRequest or something (That is probably incorrect but you get the gist. Go and read the MSDN docs).
