Love2c0de Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Good afternoon, I've got a client who's current site is coded in ASP. I'm going to re-code it in PHP but he will only agree if his company can still use their ASP scripts - which feeds information to the site from a company developed software program. Is it possible for me to implement their scripts into the PHP site? Thanks for your time. Kind regards, L2c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch0cu3r Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I dont see any point in recoding the site in PHP if they are going to continue using ASP scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 To answer the question though, yes its possible. You just need to configure IIS to execute PHP. A terrible environment for sure, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2c0de Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 @Ch0c - It's purely because I can't code in ASP. I did a quick static website for someone and they want me to re-do their other website, which is a Real Estate company, so I'm looking to build the site in PHP as it's the only server side language I know. @trq - That's great, I'll look into that! I'm considering a CMS for them to be able to add/delete/edit property details so they don't have to use ASP at all. Kind regards, L2c.

Love2c0de Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 I found out a little more about the software the company use, it's called 'Appfolio' - http://www.appfolio.com/ Anyone ever worked with this in a PHP website? Going to speak to the client and find out more about how they transfer the properties into the website. He said they use ASP scripts to do it but this looks more like software where you would literally put the required data into some kind of structure, then upload it to the site somehow. Kind regards, L2c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalecosp Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Wouldn't it be coming from some DB someplace?PHP could probably access their DB if policy and tech would allow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 You should also ask if the software is written in classic ASP or ASP.NET. There's a big difference between the two. Like huge. Classic ASP is essentially Microsoft's attempt at something similar to PHP. ASP.NET is a weird beast that does all of its work through form submissions and a very particular lifetime sequence per request. And on the back end, it's either Visual Basic or C#.
