Your new job is getting real interesting!

Did you try it on a test file? If it works then the parsing in the web
server can be overloaded, for lack of a better term.

So whether the extension is .asp or .php, watch for the tags and treat them
appropriately, that it?

Darn right 'wow'!

I can keep the ASP seperate from the PHP by use of the proper tags for this
instance. So...

<% stuff here gets executed by ASP %>
<?php stuff here gets executed by PHP ?>

Interestingly enough, the following worked ...but I will not use it in
production;

<?php

$sql = "SELECT foo FROM bar where fooID = ' ";

?>

<%
response.write("fooID")
%>

<?php
$sql .= "' ";

echo $sql . "\n";
?>

returned

SELECT foo FROM bar where fooID = '4'

Nuts, huh?
