i read that it can be done on a web some time ago but i don't know how

Are you asking if php code can run 'within an ASP page'
I have never seen it. IMO There are to many fundamental difference in the way IIS serves web pages vs the way Apache serves web pages.

If I may ask, why do you want to fit a round object thru a square hole?

BTW - PHP can run on windows, there are several different ways - I use a tool called Sokkit and it works great.

hi,
i think it's impossible...
But if you want to use perl in asp that is possible.
IIS you can run php well. find php.net

Please let me know the manner in which you want to run the php file.

If it is just to execute any script, you can use XMLHTTP Component (OR any other HTTP component available on your server).

Install PHP on your server.
(Make both ASP and PHP enabled on your server.)

Then just request the page using XMLHTTP (either "POST" OR "GET" ).

Please don't mind if it is foolishness.;)

hello mat41,

exsample:
hello.asp
<%
response.write("Hi Friends")
%>
<?
echo("Welcome");
?>
is it possible?

No way, it is possible

As per my knowledge ASP supports only VBScript, JavaScript and Perl.
(Would like to know if anything else is possible).
For Perl you need to have perl installed in your server.

I think you can go for ASP.NET.

I heard hear that ASP.NET is set to suport almost all languages.
Not tried yet.

I have never seen that work and can not imagine how it would. Why would you want to do this? Who ever asked you to has unrealistic expectations. Even if it could work IMO it would not run very smooth

;;;I heard hear that ASP.NET is set to suport almost all languages
Not all but many - I have been on an introductory course only, wow a great looking kettle of fish!! It allows you to write many different flavours of code including PHP

BTW: Post/search this type of question in the PHP area Wrox. I have read a post in there similar to this.

I just added a server.execute line to run some php within an asp.net aspx page, and it worked!

Gee this is a very old post you have commented on. I think the topic of this post was to run PHP inside a classic .ASP page not a .ASPX page......wasnt it
