ASP or PHP????

Which is more prevalent?
Which is easier to learn?
Which has more code snippets available?
I'm trying to figure out which one I should choose to use in my form mail pages. Specifically, I'd like to have a form that a visitor completes and it would send the info to either in a pdf form or to a database.
I hope I am explaining this well enough for you all to understand.

The one that is better for you is the one that is easier for you to work with. Look here
Apples and oranges" refers to the idiom "comparing apples and oranges", which indicates that two items or groups of items cannot be validly compared. The idiom evokes the apparent differences between items which are popularly thought to be incomparable or incommensurable, such as apples and oranges. The idiom may also be used to indicate that a false analogyhas been made between two items, such as where an "apple" is faulted for not being a good "orange". Conversely, where the comparison or analogy is valid, the idiom will usually take the form "comparing apples with apples".

Would like to know if mobileme will support .ASP or .PHP anytime soon?

Does anyone know if Apple will consider having .ASP and .PHP supported on their network????

Better ask the question in the MobileMe forum.
But the answer will be the same : nobody knows.

Is it possible to execute a ASP/CGI/PHP script thru sockets?

hi,
i was wondering whether it is possible in Java to pass data and execute ASP/CGI/PHP script on demand thru sockets (suppose a port has been specified by both sides) and how? i know this is possible thru the urlConnection, but how about sockets? these scripts could be stored in specific directories on the server.
thanks!!!

hi,
i was wondering whether it is possible in Java to pass
data and execute ASP/CGI/PHP script on demand Yes, completely it's possible!
If you need to access ASP/CGI/PHP/Servlet/JSP thru' Java program, you can refer:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/qow/index.jsp
[after a week: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/qow/archive/index.html
and look for 'Can I send an HTTP request to a servlet from a normal class without having to use a browser to send the HTTP requests?']
-and that's the QOW [Question Of the Week]!
thru sockets (suppose a port has been specified by both
sides) and how? When you say, a port has been specified on both sides,
then it becomes, a NET/Socket programming and you
need to use the 'net' package for the same.
i know this is possible thru the urlConnection, 'possible' means, it's assumed that u're invoking the 'script' thru' a web-server!
And u still use 'http://...' protocol to achieve the same; and u're NOT
directly accessing the script file as "file:\\network-host\root\files\abc.jsp"
but how about sockets? these scripts
could be stored in specific directories on the
server.It's not at all possible to 'invoke' those 'scripts' directly, by
using sockets; If you know that they're existing in one
particular directory of a network system, all you can do is
you can read the file content thru' socket, but you can't
make it become 'alive' and it would not dance for u!
Because, if there is a 'script' [PHP/ASP/CGI/JSP] that is
meant for dancing, then the stage for dancing is provided
by the web-server environment which starts the appropriate
server-side process that can understand and interpret the
given script! And all we can do is asking the web-server
to pull the 'script' to the stage and dance for you! But,
the 'asking' the webserver can be done thru' browser or
a URLConnection! If what you want to do would have been
possible, then, just with FTP we could have achieved the same!
Easy Go Jolly Java!

Need help on integrating htmldb with asp/jsp/php

Hello there, we have a few existing htmldb applications running at the moment, and now we would like to develop some asp/jsp/php applications. However there is one issue we still haven't solved yet, which is the SESSION(Login) problem. We don't know how the session is being generated, how to pull out session values manually from db etc etc.
If you have done this before or any ideas, will be much appreciated.
Thanks very much
James

James,
sometimes it makes sense to look at these things from a different (and broader) perspective.
Especially in a context of a corporation it makes sense to use a Single Sign On (SSO) server for authentication (usually against LDAP) . Something like Netegrity Siteminder, Oracle SSO Server (as part of Oracle Internet Application Server) or something similar.
Then you could have all your applications use the authentication method of the SSO server which will keep track of the valid session and the applications that participate in the SSO context.
On the Apex side you would have to write a custom authentication scheme to leverage that functionality, the session handling will no longer be of any concern to you.
Just a different way to look at it.

Going from ASP TO PHP

I have been with this company for the past 10 years and NOW
they are no longer going to support ASP and they are only going to
focus on PHP. Is there a program that will convert asp to php? Is
this even something I should attempt as I do not know any coding
except what I have learned along the way. Thank you in advance.

> Besides with PHP you get David Powers; who could ask for
more :)
Indeed.
What I really like about PHP is that I can do in one or two
commands what
would take me 8 or 10 lines of code in VBScript. And David
Powers.... 8)

GoLive CS y contenido dinámico: páginas ASP y PHP

Alguien sabe si en la versión de GoLive CS ha desaparecido la utilidad de contenido dinámico?, me refiero a crear páginas ASP o PHP con consultas a bases de datos. No la encuentro en ninguna de las opciones, ni hay ninguna alusión en la ayuda. Me extraña mucho que hayan prescindido de esta utilidad porque en las tres últimas versiones de GoLive la fueron mejorando.
Muchas gracias.

Hola Miguel
Pues sí, GoLive CS viene sin su "Contenido Dinamico"
En los foros de GoLive en ingles, es un tema muy discutido, y existe una peticion firmada (?) por varios usuarios de GoLive, los cuales piden que lo reinstalen.
Veremos que pasa con CS 2.
Lo siento, pero si tienes el "6", no lo quites de tu computadora.

Asp and php upload code

does any one have the code for upload-file form in asp,
asp.net and php?
files-path must go to an access database and the file to a
folder, or is this not possible?
many thanks

Yes. OS X is a great webserver.
OS X includes the Apache web server, so for basic pages there is no need to install anything. However, I recommend that you use Marc Liyanage's PHP package from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/. It's really easy to install, and you can also use it with MySQL quite easily.
If you want something else, XAMPP is also available for OS X at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. There even is a package called MAMP at http://www.mamp.info/. I haven't used these packages much, because the stuff mentioned in the previous paragraph suit my local testing needs.
Unfortunately, I've never heard of people running ASP on mac. I doubt it's possible, but maybe someone else can help you out with that.

Calling LabView from ASP or PHP ?

Hi;
I was wondering if someone could help me.
I need to control a spectrum analyzer remotely.. The VI's are ready, and I would Like to call/Run them from ASP/PHP in order to enable the remote client to interact with the VI's via a normal Web Browser.
Tips:
client should be able to send the VI's some data(variables).
Get the results back and display it on the web page.
Kind Regards
K.S.
Student

In that case, you might want to check http://www.jeffreytravis.com/. He has a book called "Internet Applications in LabVIEW". The book was written before 6.0 introduced remote panels. There's also an application there available for download called LabVNC that might work for you. I haven't tried it but it sounds like it would do the trick.

Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, Coldfusion, & PHP

I am new to php and I am trying to work thru Dreamweaver 8
with ASP, Coldfusion and PHP Training from the Source. I have a
real simple form. A user enters their first and last name then
clicks the submit button. The form is then processed with a script
using $_GET[first_name]; $_GET[last_name]; and it should display
"Thank you, first_name last_name, for using my form." But the page
show the html with a Notice: Undefined index: first_name in
C:\htdocs\newland\test_form_processor.php on line 9. Line nine is -
<p>Thank you, <?php echo $_GET['first_name']; ?>
<?php echo $_GET['last_name']; ?>, for filling out my
form.</p>. This was accomplished using the binding panel in
DW. There is not any kind of trouble shooting in the book. Can
someone tell me what this means? It worked like it is supposed to
work when I had just the first name.

I don't have a copy of that book. I wrote my own instead. ;-)

It means that the first_name variable isn't being passed from
the form.
PHP is case-sensitive. Your form needs to look something like
this:
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="get"
action="test_form_processor.php">
<p>First name: <input type="text" name="first_name"
id="first_name" /></p>
<p>Last name: <input type="text" name="last_name"
id="last_name" /></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit1" id="submit1"
value="Send" />
</form>

ASP problem -- PHP Wordpress site

I have been asked to redo a site that is in .asp format;
however, I host on Unix and do only phpmysql sites. The site is a
law firm that is a subsidiary of a larger national firm and uses a
form protected by an SSL. How can I possibly create a Wordpress or
Joomla site for this without changing hosting?

unless their current host supports PHP and mySQL, you're
probably going to
have to change hosts. And if they have an SSL that's been
generated for an
IIS server, you're more than likely going to have to get that
certificate
re-issued for the new Apache server. Or is that form on their
nat'l firm's
site and not their local site?

DW8 with ASP,ColdFusion,PHP

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with
Bardzell's fine book. In Chapter 10, Building the Tour
Descriptions, I can't build the first recordset where you SELECT *
FROM tbl_tours because I get an unidentified error. I managed to
isolate the error to the "exerciseReqd" column - when I browse the
table in phpMyadmin that row looks very odd with incomplete lines
and empty spaces in some fields. I simply deleted that column and
the recordset worked. Then I just continued on since its not
imperative for the lesson to have that column. Just wondering what
might have caused the problem.

What's the author's title and edition published with which
publisher? I am curious about that one and do bit of research.
Curious. Have you ever heard of David Powers' books called
"PHP Solutions" or PHP for Dreamweaver 8" which were published with
Apress (friends of ED). The book "PHP Solutions" recently published
and released to the booksellers only few weeks ago.
I highly recommend this world-class author David Powers. His
books are well-written, documented in a clear, concise with more
thorough, detailed steps in those two books.
I think you find his books are very useful tool/resource.

DW8 with ASP, CF, & PHP (not so) "Live Data"

I have been working through this book and it's great.
However, the first time Mr. Bardzell didn't anticipate a potential
problem and its probable cause --of which I'd had none up to this
point-- was the first time I
did. Whenever I try to turn on Live Data, DW returns and
alert that reads:
Dreamweaver could not properly convert the live page from the
web server.
The pages have been fine in the browser. So, I kept on going.
now I'm in lesson 10 and he recommends checking dynamic input
frequently. I've checked, rechecked, redone, reinstalled, and then
did it all again--and a third time--NOTHING. And no mention of this
problem in any of the forums, articles, books, help files, etc.
Help please?!

ASP / PHP pages: How to get streaming info from a XML file?

Hi all
I am using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 but I can't find any output file (fx a xml file) that I can pull out info from and use on my website via a PHP or ASP script. It could be nice - in the website - to retrieve info like "online users attending", "running / streaming state" (online or offline) and other relevant info about the streaming, so I on the website can display how many that are online when a webtv event is streaming.
I see the the info when I login at the web admin for FMS, but I need a solution that can work with ASP or PHP.
I simply can't find any file / address to get this kind or output out of FMS - can you help?
Thank you
Kind regards,
