I am just curious about the use of PHP and ASP together. I have huge web apps that are created in ASP. I am starting to become familiar with the strengths of PHP. I was thinking that I may use PHP to add some capabilities that ASP does not have. I don't want to convert my entire app to PHP because it would take months! Does anyone know of any problems doing this? Please avoid the obvious like "You need both PHP and ASP on the same server." I understand that. Thanks.

I have a system right now that uses both asp and php. But it's just a database system. All we're doing is making scripts that pass variables back and forth through method get or post. Obviously there's no way to merge the two languages, so we found a primitive way of just passing information.

[Mikeirv]

Yeah, this is essentially what I want to do. I just want to tap into PHP's capabilities that are not available in ASP. At least not without installing or purchasing 3rd party components.

Then pass information that you need PHP to complete using get or post.

Have PHP wait for the information using $_GET[] or $_POST[] and complete the function in PHP using the information that was passed to it.

I'm a little unsure what you're trying to do, so I don't know if this is a solution you can use.

[Mikeirv]

Yes, this is one method of doing what I want to do. I guess I may have phrased my question incorrectly. What I am really trying to find out is if there are any major issues with using PHP and ASP together. I know how to do it, I am just worried that I am going to run into a problem down the line.

How can you have them work together? You either name your file .php or .asp

Each works in accordance with their parent programming language. I don't think there is a way to merge the languages.
