A real interesting challenge and when I first read it I thought the same thing, instead of using the short form of tags, using a more extended form such as <script language=""> and so on, it should work, but then, Irealized that there is a lot going on outside of the code, such as parsing the incoming arguments of the POST or GET into either the $_REQUEST array or the Request.Form collection and, on the opposite site, the assembly of the output buffer. Even in the CGI version of the PHP interpreter there is no provision I am aware of to pipe either the request or the reply to any other interpreter down the line, nor do I think the ASP interpreter has a CGI version. How come you were able to do both a Response.Write and an echo and get them both streamed into the same browser, I can't figure out. If you manage to send headers from one or the other in any order it would be impressive, and if from both, I would appreciate it if you would warn me to sit down tight before you ever break the news. Other 'global' objects or arrays would also mess up. Sessions, cookies, etc, I can't imagine. Another issue would be sharing variables, calling functions or passing parameters. I am certain that should be impossible. A trick it should work, if you find any trouble with this is to do a sort of 'web service' with PHP which you can call from ASP, so you still leave ASP handling the user interface as I assume it does now, and you can request from a server running PHP (which might be the very same one) whatever the PHP one cannot provide.
