Re: asp2php - has anyone tried it?

It should at least give you a head start in the conversion. If you use ActiveX objects and ASP-exclusive stuff then obviously it will have problems. But it typically comments out those sections and gives a reason why it couldn't be converted. If you know ASP, but you're not used to PHP, then ASP2PHP may be all you need to get started. I have "converted" sites over from ASP to PHP, and for myself it seems to be faster to just rewrite the whole thing. Typically coding goes by very quickly if the design already exists. It seems trying to get the client to express what they want is the difficult part. Not to mention when re-coding a site you may be able to optimize it better than the first time it was written. PHP has wonderful support (like this mailing list), so give it a try. If you run into any dead ends, you're bound to get help within the hour. -- Matthew Leverton - matthew@aeroinc.net - http://www.allegro.cc -----Original Message----- From: Brian Tully <btully@gstockco.com> To: PHP <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 1:41 PM Subject: [PHP] asp2php - has anyone tried it? >I've been asked to convert a site over from the dark side (NT/MS-SQL/ASP) >over to our Linux box (MySQL/PHP) and I came across this "asp2php" script. >Anyone have experience converting a site over like this and/or did you use >asp2php?
