Hi there, I am a reasonable ASP coder but have been wanting to try my hand at PHP, now is it possible to have another web server such as apache server PHP type pages resident on the same system that I currently have PWS serving ASP type pages, bearing in mind that both tend to use the http://localhost area to serve pages from.

I don't know much about PWS, but it is possible to have both exist on the same machine. If you want to use PWS server for both you'd configure it to use the PHP executable to process .php extension files. If you want to install Apache in the same enviornment, configure it to listen on a different port than the default port 80. Then all you have to do is type in the port with the address http://localhost:8080/, for port 8080.

hth,
Rich

You can have both pages served at the same time, as long as you configure your webserver properly. Each file type will have it's own file extension. The webserver will send all .asp files to ASP and all .php files to PHP. You can't, however, configure the webserver to send the output of PHP to ASP (or vice versa) before sending the output to the user. It's one or the other.


Take care,
