Hi
I was wondering if there was any way to integrate php code within a .aspx page or the other way round (asp code in a .php page) in Dreamweaver MX 2004...
any ideas?
thanks

Even without dreamweaver, I do not think this is directly possible other than having one language do a system call to a separate PHP script and grab its results, but not directly proccessed as part of the same file.

i see...so supposing i store the asp code (that i want to call in all my php pages) in a seperate file, what system call code should i include in the php pages to call this aspx file ?

They run on different processes, it's like trying to run your car on petrol and diesel at the same time. (ok bad example)
In PHP you can use ASP tags but wont run as ASP (as far as I know)

It's probably a very bad idea to try using both at the same time anyway! Imagine what a crows nest of code you're going to create, and what happends when you need to directly amend something the other person's done?

It seems to me, honestly speaking, that you have only two options:

  • Re-write everything in PHP.
  • Learn ASP and get by.

Which one you choose much depends upon how complex the project is.
