Anyone knows?

[d3nnis]

is this even possible?

test.php

<?
include "test.asp";
?>

test.asp

<%
response.write "hi!"
%>

PHP can't include ASP code and ASP can't do so for PHP code.

I say code because both interpreters will read the file as if it were just plain HTML and output it.

To set the MIME type, you need to do (in ASP)

Response.ContentType="text/html"

let say i am using a windows server with IIS as web server (can read asp), and i have php installed... still not possible?

For PHP, you need to do something like:

PHP Code:

header('Content-Type: text/html'); 


You need to place this at the top of your page before you output anything before your PHP delimiter or in your script. If you need to do this half-way through your script, implement output buffering (just call ob_start() on the first line of your script). Just ensure that you don't output content between the start of the file and the PHP delimiter.

so its still possible to include a asp page within a php page?

No, it is not. PHP can't parse ASP code and ASP can't parse PHP code. Both can include files from each other, but they won't know what to do with the other code. (PHP might try to parse it if you have the ASP tags enabled)
