Can i use .NET to add to a website built in PHP and MySQL

Hi all...
I am having difficulty here. Our company has website already built few years back. Now they want me to add one tab (webpage) i guess to their existing website and link SQL database to that with login information.

People who build website earlier used PHP and MySQL.....Is it possible for me to use .NET?

Is this possible? As I am new to website part?..

And I want to build it using VB.NET....
What properties I will have to keep in mind before starting?.

Thank you in advance.

Do you know how your server is set up? Which OS it runs, which HTTP server, which versions?

If your server is running Linux, it would probably be cheaper, quicker and easier to learn enough PHP to do what you need to do than it would be to set up a Windows server in the way you want it.

Even if your server is running Windows, the above may still hold true. And you may even need some expertise in both .NET and PHP to get them to play along nicely.

Overall, I recommend you just keep using PHP to maintain a site already using PHP. If this was a matter of creating a new site, then it could easily go either way.

Sure it's possible. You would have to have a web-server capable of using both .NET and PHP - basically, a Windows server running IIS.

However, if the site is already written in PHP, you would probably be better off extending the PHP site using PHP, rather than try to mix it with .Net. There are things that won't be easy to share between the two, like sessions.

Is there any particular reason why you want to use .Net over PHP?
