Gotta library of PHP code for talking to various databases. Just inherited some ASP code that wants to talk to these databases. Don't want to re-write the library in ASP. What I'd like to do is write an intermediate layer that lets the ASP call the PHP functions and accept the data returned.

Anybody done anything like that?

Thanks.

I don't think that's difficult. You can use querystring. For instance, the .asp pages will do their functionality as needed but when they want to use PHP libraries, they will get redirected to http://www.domain.com/somepage.php?name=<%=myname%>&age=<%=myage%>

The somepage.php will retrive the variables from querystring, pass those variables to the PHP functions and the result will be transfered back to the asp page in a similar way, but with PHP syntax. e.g, http://www.domain.com/somepage.asp&name=&name&age=$age

For the site visitor, he/she won't be able to see any .php page because a redirection will be done on entrance and exit to the PHP page.

I hope you have got what I want to say. Just use your imagination to make usability of PHP functions transparently. Tell me if it works or not.

Has anyone come up with an answer for this because I have the same problem. I suppose I'd also have the same problem if I were a PHP guy trying to call a method inside a VB dll from PHP. This is a very interesting topic. My problem is the same as Smoobly. If you know an answer please let us know.

Thanks
