Translating ASP into PHP?

[skyraider]

Hey,

I have an ASP site written around 4 years ago, and an Access DB to go with it. I want to convert the Access DB to mySQL and the ASP pages to PHP. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about doing it (I know some VB.NET, but no PHP)? If not, which Windows host do you recommend?

Thanks.

you will probably need to start again.
a good hosting service is midphase http://www.midphase.com/index.shtml for php.

Yeah. ChiliSoft is too expensive for me... so there is no way to convert the code? I have VB.NET standard but that just upgrades it to .NET, I believe.

You can't convert its too different, but if you are willing to pay i can create something exactly like you have in php? hit me up with a pm if your interested

No.. ASP and PHP use many different functions.. PHP uses way to many different functions that do sorta the same thing but the way they do it is different.. The only way is if you know how to code both then you can easly port it over.

you can of course re-use the parts of your site which are straight html and of course images

asp2php is what you're looking for. It won't do the job 100% on large things, and it certainly isn't optimal, but it will get you 90% of the way there on under 30 seconds. The version I'm running can be found at:
