I haven't played with converters for years but as I recall, there were two major problems: 1. Tons of errors. Some of which were pretty obscure. You pretty much need a firm foundation in both languages to correct conversion errors. On many conversions, it would have taken me less time to write a new script than to correct a conversion. 2. Horrible code. Good PHP and ASP scripts are laid out differently for readability and maintainability. Conversions tend to produce spaghetti code. -------------

Hey Dave! While I believe that good code comes out of SoKY, I have my doubts about tasty spaghetti. Folks that use a can of tomato soup for sauce just don't understand food. -------------

| No. I think there no such tools. You can’t use those languages directly into once, but there is way to use ASP.NET and PHP into one web application. You can use mysql database as bridge between those two languages. For an example: First you do what ever operations in PHP and store its results into mysql database and using ASP you call those results into ASP application. I hope you got the idea. |

I have written loads of applications that mix PHP, ASP, and ASP.NET and you don't need to use a database. You can use things like AJAX, Microsoft HTTP Component, or SOAP to post requests to an application written in a different language which then returns a response that you can parse in your original application. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
