PHP to coldfusion software

Does anyone know if there is a software to convert php to coldfusion or what is the quickest way to do this. We have extremly large sites which are all done in php and we prefer to use cf so my boss wants it converted.
Any suggestions

Optimistic much? I've never heard of such a thing. And even if there was something that converted syntax, it couldn't possibly take into account the idiosyncrasies (sp?) between the way the two handle things differently.
Out of interest, if it's not considered important enough to put in the proper development effort, what is the thinking between moving from a free platform to a famously expensive one?

What is the best program language for mass email (PHP, ASP, Coldfusion)?

I want to be able to send mass email (from a SQL db) with
stability and reliability.
I've used Coldfusion for some time (CFmail tag) and have not
been impressed.
It seems, at times, it has a mind of it's own, and is a
little unreliable, especially
when sending hundreds of emails at one shot. I'm not dogg'n
Codfusion,
that's what I program in, I just am looking for a method that
I can build on.
My question is this: What is the best and most reliable
coding when sending mass email?
Is it PHP, ASP, XML, Coldfusion....what?
You would think there has to be an optimum option out
there...right?
Thanks for the knowledge!

Translate code from PHP to Coldfusion (SHA1 Encryption)

Hi everyone,
I have this bit of code in PHP which I want to do in Coldfusion but I have no idea. Can anyone help me out with this one?
Will the IC_Checksum value be the same in Coldfusion as it would be in PHP?
PHP Code:
$IC_CheckSum = SHA1($Encryptioncode . "|" . IC_Currency . "|" . IC_PaymentMethod . "|" . IC_Issuer);
Coldfsuion Code:
Thanks!

I see, so you want to hash a value? Have you tried the ambiguously-named hash() function?
Adobe Docs
And yes, two identical strings hashed in an identical algorithm should be identical regardless of the technology that did the work.

Running PHP script via ColdFusion

I'm running CFMX 7 on a Solaris platform with PHP 5.0.5.
I need to determine the width and height of an uploaded image
to ensure that the file can be reasonably used on a web page. I
have scoured the Internet and found a numer of solutions to this.
Most need the installation of additional software on our server and
the creation of a custom tag. These are doable, but would require
additional effort I don't have time for at the moment. Also, the
software to install is a full image manipulation package that is
definitely overkill for my needs. Kind of like threading a needle
with a hammer.
On the other hand I know that PHP has a command called
"getimagesize" that would be perfect for my use. This would be much
more simple and elegant. And I have created a small program (see
below) that can accept a location of an image file and display the
width and height of the image as a result. The code is:
<?php
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($argv[1]);
echo "$width, $height";
?>
I've tested it via the command line and it works fine.
However, I'm having difficulty in running it via the ColdFusion
cfexecute tag. Here is that code:
<cfsavecontent variable="imgsize">
<cfexecute name="#phpfilelocation#"
arguments="#imagelocation#"></cfexecute>
</cfsavecontent>
I get nothing back from this. I've also tried the cfhttp tag
with similar results. It seems to me that the argument (the
location of the image) is not being accepted by the PHP code for
some reason.
I've looked for a solution to this within this forum and via
Google, etc. to no avail. There is apparently something about PHP
or ColdFusion that is escaping me. Any help clarifying why this is
not working and (hopefully) a workaround would be very much
appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe this will help:

Translating PHP Script to Coldfusion

Hello,
I need to translate this code (which is in PHP) to coldfusion, is there anyone who can help me please it´s urgent, thanks a lot.
<?
$ref = $_GET['Reference'];
$act = $_GET['Action'];
$par = $_GET['Param'];
switch ($act) {
case "DETAIL":
echo "Reference=".$ref. "&Action=".$act."&Reponse=".$montant;
break;
case "ERREUR":
echo "Reference=".$ref. "Action=".$act. "Reponse=OK";
break;

case "ANNULATION":
echo "Reference=".$ref. "Action=".$act. "Reponse=OK";
break;

When you're approaching the task of "translating PHP to ColdFusion," and when you find yourself with just-a-moment where you are not "up to your earlobes in alligators" (i.e. when you can recall that "your original objective was to drain the moat ..."), then do try to step back and look at the forest not just the trees. ColdFusion actually has a rather different philosophy toward designing applications, which can be summed up (I think) like this:
Most web-tools (PHP, dot-Net, even Ruby and Perl) give you the ability to "write a program" that just happens to produce an HTML output.
Content-management (CMS) systems are "really-nifty programs that have already been written for you."
ColdFusion is an application-server system that uses an XML-based declarative syntax. It is implemented on the back-end using a "just in time" compiler that cranks out the (Java and JavaScript) code for you. Although many of the "tags" implement conventional procedural-programming constructs such as "switch" and "if" and "loop" and "call," you'll notice that many more do not.
A good example of the difference between them, for me, is the <cftransaction> tag. This tag declares to ColdFusion that the enclosed block is supposed to "be a database transaction." This means, without you having to say anything further, that:
A database transaction should be started.
If all of the code within this block completes successfully, the database transaction should be committed.
If an exception occurs within this block, the database transaction should be rolled-back (in addition to anything else that should happen as a consequence of an exception having occurred).
The ColdFusion Engine parses that declarative tag and automagically generates the necessary Java code to implement it correctly, on-the-fly, then executes that code immediately. You don't have to be consciously aware that this is happening, even though as an application designer you can.
This strategy is especially useful when an application needs to be "scaled up" to run on multiple servers. When ColdFusion is configured for that environment, the code that it on-the-fly generates is a little bit different. But the page that you wrote, isn't.

PHP on a COLDFUSION SERVER

Hi,
I have the following question: Is it possible to get PHP
running on a Coldfusion server? I have a forum in php which I want
to be displayed on the webpage running under Coldfusion.
Is this possible? What would be the best solution?
Regards,
Kabbi Thkek

Well no, not inside a page. You can not embed PHP code in a
CFM file
and expect the ColdFusion engine to know what to do with it,
anymore
then you can embed CFML code in a PHP file and expect the PHP
engine to
understand it.
You can cross process with frames, as mentioned. Since then
each
request will be sent to the appropiate engine by the web
server.
You can also use web services to pass information from one
app server to
the other.
With ColdFusion you could use the CFHTTP tag to call a PHP
page and
process what it returns. I'm sure PHP has similar
functionality.
Those are the three ideas I could come up with.

Coldfusion & PHP Site Possible?

I've been building a site with a small gallery in a MYSqul
database, using PHP in Dreamweaver CS3. I'm now wanting to add
credit card acceptance (via a donations page) and I'm thinking of
buying Cartweaver to help me out. I know Cartweaver supports PHP,
besides Coldfusion, but most of the Cartweaver educational training
I've found is Coldfusion.
Is it possible to build a Dreamweaver site using PHP and
Coldfusion? I'm confused about the possibility of using two server
technologies in one site.??? In Dreamweaver's Site Definition, it
appears as if only server technology can be selected. Is that true?
And, if so, is there any way around this?

You can have PHP and CF running on the same box. Install CF
as you normally would and then go in and install PHP (or vice
versa, doesn't matter).
Your httpd will route cfml pages to CF and php pages to PHP.
Works great.
Not sure how you'd deal with DW though.

Will BC eventually include Coldfusion and/or Flex?

My understanding is that BC web sites are .NET based. Will BC sites eventually include Coldfusion and/or Flex servers?
Having spent many hours learning and building rich Internet applications using Coldfusion and Flex, hard to believe an Adobe-hosted web site system (BC) would be solely .NET based.

Hi Ahande2!
Unfortunately not in the near future and at this stage.
The BC Sytstem is a SAAS (Software as a Service) and this system is a .net based system.
You have NO access to server side code so you can not run any PHP, Java, Coldfusion, .net code on your sites.
If you need any custom functionality etc you can use the ever expanding API of the system.

ColdFusion and The Future

Admittedly, I've been a bit out of touch ... however I was
wondering what the future of ColdFusion is regarding Adobe... have
they made any announcements about the future of ColdFusion? How
will it compete with formats such as PHP/mySQL in the future? Being
a long time fan of Cold fusion, I'm curious about this.

>> 2. Image manipulation functionality -- provides both
high-level tag
based abstractions for common tasks like resizing, cropping,
and
format conversions
That so slack how CF still doesn't have this functionality
already - lets
hope its not too late to make a difference. Nice feature
though, sounds like
it may be quite sophisticated.
All in all though, based on what has been revealed here, it
doesn't sound
like much of an update - would still like to see some higher
level
framwework stuff, or maybe even a ColdFusion IDE (Heck, how
can they sell
this product at this price and not even offer an IDE for it?)
Lets hope the future reveals something a little more exciting
than what was
mentioned here.

ColdFusion hosted on BC

Client has old site build with ColdFusion.
Can I import this site into BC server?
Can I build a new site in Dreamweaver using the old files for content?

Hi Will,
Have you not asked this question before in regards to PHP a little while ago?
Like with PHP or any server side coding - You can not install this on BC. IT is a SAAS - Software as as service and a closed system. You can not access the server side code.
It is also a .NET based system setup and server so other sources like PHP and Coldfusion will not run under this environment anyway.
In terms of using DW you can take the rendered pages from a ColdFusion site and certanly convert it into a BC site. I have done this before. Any extra work you need you can develop ColdFusion code that runs on your server and API's into your BC site if you need to as well.
Does that cover it for you, any other questions in regard to this?

PHP photo galleries that are compatible with iPhoto?

I don't have MobileMe, but I do have a personal web site running PHP and would like to publish my photo albums on my web site as a good place to store them. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best PHP photo gallery software (preferably free) **that is compatible with iPhoto**?
Of course I can always export everything out of iPhoto and then import them into ANY photo gallery software, but I'm hoping there's a good one out there that does have iPhoto support.

What are the differences between Cartweaver CF and PHP?

I am on my final step of finishing the webpage that I am building and saw Cartweaver for a shopping cart that is compatible with dreamweaver. But I looked into the site and hey didnt give an explanation between the CF and PHP version. So I would like to know the differences and which one would work best with Dreamweaver Cs6.

Hi Kendall,
As far as application differences, functionality wise, there is no difference. Both Cartweaver 4 CF and Cartweaver 4 PHP function and present themselves exactly the same. As far as implementation there are very subtle differences due the the way CF and PHP work, but they both are very close and use "includes" to place the Cartweaver functionality in your site penetration pages. The web based store admins work exactly the same for both. So you get the same results no matter which direction you go.
Now what is the difference between PHP and ColdFusion? That is a very important question as it will impact what platform you use from now on - for this site, and possably future sites you build so this is worth taking a little time to consider.
Which is best? Well this could lead to a discussion like which is best Mac or PC? There are evangelists and zealots on both sides. The real truth of the matter is both are good choices, you just need to decide which is best, for you. One poster said "what does your host support" - good point, but if you are new to working with dynamic web sites and are deciding what platform you want to go with there are more important factors to consider than what your current host supports. You can always select a different host.
The biggest difference between CF and PHP is they way they are written - PHP is script pasted, much like JavaScript, CFML is tag based much like html. Because of this CFML is often a little easier to learn because it's a bit easier to look at something and figure out what it's doing. So you may want to take a little time looking at this aspect.
Fact is though, with either one because Cartweaver does the vast majority of anything to do with code for you, learning the language is something you may not choose to do anyway. An advantage to PHP is that it has much wider support, so finding developers to help out, or hosts can easier with PHP. So if you don't have any desire to dig in and learn code as you go and only want to learn what's necessary to get your shopping cart site up, then the steps and learning curve are pretty much the same and PHP may be a good way to go. If this raises more questions than it answerers, let me know I'd be happy to discuss this more with you offline.
So, back to the basics - from a functionality point, they are both the same. You only need to choose which platform you think will work best for you and go from there.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions at all, ask away.

Can you edit a Coldfusion website using Kompozer

OK so I have never used Coldfusion before but want to amend some text on a website which is Coldfusion based - can I do this using Kompozer or do I need the Coldfusion software itself, or is there another free alternative I can use?

ColdFusion is both an application server and a language CFML.
You can edit CFML files with any text editor, Dreamweaver, Bolt, and CFEclipse are three popular choices. But one can use notepad or VI if one wants to.
To run the CFML pages, you need an server running the ColdFusion applicaiton server. If you are working on an existing site, then that site must be running the ColdFusion server. If you would like one set up on your workstation, the developer version is free and can be downloaded from www.coldfusion.com.

Problem downloading file's from a .php cart

Having problems downloading files form a php based cart software, but Firefox works fine and also on a PC they download on Explorer fine, is there a setting on Safari to fix this or is there another way around this.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Usually, this type of content doesn't work on Safari due to a PC mentality when coding the site. Here, Firefox etc. are better able to read this code.
Also, a good reason for having alternate browsers from which to choose.
