PHP with in .aspx

[Chrisjc]

Good afternoon all,

I am trying to run some php and java with in a page that has the extension of .aspx I am forced to use this because of the way the site is... But I would like to use a nice php / java mouse over that calls on a page and displays that content only when the mouse is over...
Here is the code I am trying to use in colors.aspx

<?php
$filein = 'help.html';
// ----------------------------------------
// Read help file into variable $help_text   
// ----------------------------------------
$help_text = ""; 
if ($fd = fopen ($filein, "r")) {
   $help_text = fread($fd, filesize ($filein));
   fclose ($fd);
}
if ($help_text == '')
   $help_text = 'No help text available';
$help_text=htmlentities($help_text);
$help_text=str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), array("",""), $help_text);
echo '<a align="right" href="#" onmouseout="javascript:hideTooltip()" onmouseover="javascript:showTooltip(event,\''.$help_text.'\');return false"><img src="http://test.valoriprecast.com/images/ProductImages/Colors/thumbs/Blanco Smooth.jpg" border="0"></a>';
?>

I have PHP install on MS Server03 and set it up as IIS ISAPI extension. However it seems there must be something more I must do to make this work....

I tried almighty Google for answers and I keep reading something about AddType. However they are saying to add this in the .htaccess file, which my site does not use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Chris

Why not just pick between ASP.NET and PHP?

I'm not sure if combining these two languages is going to work in an ASP.NET application, and even if you could it would be pretty messy.

Are you really using Java? Or are you using JavaScript?

Everything you've described above can be done in an Ajax enabled ASP.NET web application.

I'm sure you could achieve the same thing in PHP....but combining the two together is not going to be nice if it's even possible.

When I first read this I thought 'Why combine 3 different languages?'

And I still think that now.

I doubt there's anything (you will use) PHP can do that ASP.NET can't.

I'm sure if you were to ask the guys over in ASP.NET, they'd help you port your PHP into ASP.NET.

Thank you, for the replies sadly I do not know much ASP.NET I am just maintaining this site and I know php and sorry JavaScript =] mistype

Wish it was all 100% java haha gotta take classes for that though.

I had just used that code above before and I figured it would be easy to just re-use it for what I need it for... sadly I can not change the .aspx extentions because the application makes the pages through the database...

I never really thought of looking at it like that "3 different languages" I guess that kind of sucks hmm I will ask some of the ASP guys if they could help me with what I am trying to do.

Thanks again!
