Hi guys, I have my web site written in asp. Now, I am trying to integrate a webservice written in php. Does anyone know how to call a php function from asp??

I don't think you can call a component from a separate language like that.

The only thing I can think of is using ASPTear to download the page with the service and manipulate accordingly.

is php running on the host? You can change php config so that it reads code inside of <% %> but very unusual for php and asp to be running on the same server..

I don't think that world work. As soon as the PHP interpreter ran into ASP code between <% %>, it would get confused.

Just get the ASP page to redirect to the page with the PHP function on it, and use a query string to pass parameters, etc.

Or call the PHP page (and function) using a server side XMLHTTP request

If it's a web service it's possible to write ASP to handle back the output. Why do you have to call on PHP? You could just rewrite what it does in ASP if needs be.

Cheers,

MC

Chris,

I notice you're referring to "server side XMLHTTP request". Could you please give an example?

As you all can tell, I started a thread about using variables within an SQL INSERT in ASP.

I actually have the identical code written in PHP that works beautifully. I could call that up in my ASP code (or call the ASP from PHP).

BTW, we're hosted by a third-party (that's why I have to use DSN-less connections). I run PHP, ASP & ASP.NET on our website all the time.

Thanks for any help.
