PHP Scripts in an ASP Page

I have seen it stated several times lately that you can't mix scripting languages on the same page. I was quite surprised to learn this, since I do it all the time. The output of this script:

<%
Response.Write "Written with VB Script from the Server<br>"
%><Script RunAt=Server Language=JavaScript>
Response.Write("Written with Java Script from the Server<br>");
</Script><Script RunAt=Server Language=VBScript>
Response.Write "Written with VB Script from the Server<br>"
</Script><Script Language=JavaScript>
document.write("Written with Java Script from the Client<br>");
</Script><Script Language=VBScript>
document.Write "Written with VB Script from the Client<br>"
</Script>

Looks like this:

Written with Java Script from the Server
Written with VB Script from the Server
Written with Java Script from the Client
Written with VB Script from the Client
Written with VB Script from the Server

It most certainly does work. Thought the output is out of order, it is as expected.

Isn't getting the interpreter to read an ASP page a function of the script mapping? Or does it specifically need to be supported in the interpreter as well?

Thanks

Apologies - you are correct. You can have sections of script within a
<script runat="server"> block.

You can't have different languages within <% %> blocks. The intepreter used
is either the default specified in the IIS metabase, or whatever is
specified in the @Language= page declaration.

The intepreter needs to support whatever threading model (etc) that is
required to be an ISAPI extension. If there's a PHP .exe or a PHP.dll, then
you could certainly try mapping .php extensions to it, but I don't think
it'll work.

You can get more information on ISAPI extensions here:

Maybe it would be easier if I just told you what I'm trying to do.

PHP includes native functions to do both forward and reverse DNS resolution. The PHP script:

<?
echo gethostbyname('www.somehost.com');
?>

Will output the IP address of the host. And that's what I need, to be able to retrieve an IP address in real time and display it within an ASP page.

Currently I have a third-party COM object installed that does DNS, but this seems so much cleaner if I could get it to work. I have considered having the PHP script store the IP to a cookie then just doing a response.redirect into the PHP script and the PHP equivalent back out of it, but I can't help thinking there is a better way.

Thanks for all your help.

<%
Response.Write ( "Client IP: " & Request.ServerVariables( "REMOTE_ADDR" ) &
"<BR>\r\n" )
Response.Write ( "Server IP: " & Request.ServerVariables( "LOCAL_ADDR" ) &
"<BR>\r\n" )
%>

This returns the IP of the client browsing the web page as well as the IP of
the interface on the server that handled the request. If you have a Proxy
in between there, the REMOTE_ADDR is going to show the proxy and not the
actual client, which is expected.

While ASP doesn't have any built-in functionality to do a DNS lookup of
arbitrary location, it is easy to extend via ActiveX/COM, which just about
crosses all MS technologies and can leverage it.
