I have a PHP site that's being moved from a Linux to a Windows-based server. Everything is fine except that a small part of our CMS no longer works (a video uploader). I've been asked to use an ASP script for the uploader instead. Something about using ASP and PHP on the same site makes me nervous. Does anyone know of any reason why ASP and PHP shouldn't be mixed like this or is it ok and I'm worrying for no reason?
ASP and PHP can be used on windows boxes. As long as they're completely separate and aren't dependent on each other. For example, using query strings (i.e file.php?var=1&var2=bla) things get messy when you need to transfer those variables over to the ASP file or vice versa.
So as long as the 2 systems are totally independent of each other, then it should work fine.
