Can you call an .asp web page into a php page using includes??

dudes... why don't you just put an iframe to that asp page ?

 

Probably because the content needs to be indexed by search engines or something.

 

Thanks for this code

I will try it because I have a site on a Windows Server but with php support that works pretty fine, however I have been trying to include an ASP page into the php with no results, including the trick of iframed it

 

wow mad4 may the sun shine over Nottingham for the rest of the week!!!

I have images galore! you were right the wee "i" was holding it all up changing it to caps sorted the entire page and now all the images are hunky dory!!!

So this "str_replace" is quite a handy snippet of code isnt it.. could one use this same idea to sort out the links on the called asp page also so that they travel to the right urls? Im going to try it and find out

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mad4 for taking the time to look at this for me. I was quite stuck! without your help and knowledge I would still be stuck!!! The more I see of php the more I like it

Im smiling down here in Auckland!!!

 

Het Mystique - try Mad4s suggestions with ini set etc (see back thru replys) I am not using the $asp=file thing and using this instead and its working perfectly. I had trouble with the images not showing from the asp file - and his suggestion of using "str_replace" now has them all showing also.. best of luck!! Its awesome when you get it working!!

 

Excellent!

Now i have some links on the asp page I would like to do two things to. This doesnt seem a simple task. I have two requirements.

Here are the two issues:

1) some links in the asp page return users back to the other site. I dont want this
2) Some links are wanted but open up the other sites asp pages over the top of my site.

Heres what I would like:

1) deactivate some links altogether as they take users back to the other persons site (which is not wanted.)

2) change some so that they call the new page from the other site in place of the original asp page

Ive tried replacing the urls in question with:

$filestring = str_replace("../events/eventdetail.asp?eventid=ZDM091261", "", $filestring);

Which I thought would remove it altogether - but the link remains active and when clicked then sends the user to the index page in my directory the page sits in.

Ive also tried
$filestring = str_replace("a href="../events/eventdetail.asp?eventid=ZDM091261"", "", $filestring);
a href= but the system didnt seem to like all the additional " involved in the lineup.

Has anyone managed this before?

 

is this a mod rewrite kind of thing?

 

I had a pending job to finish before try this, but I'm about to check it right now.

mod_rewrite does not work on Windows Based servers because it requires the use of directives via your .htaccess file, which is a not supported on a Windows online environment

 

If you are using a " in the string then you need to escape it by writing \" instead.

 

Hi mad4 thanks for that - have you ever come across using string_replace to completely remove a url link? the second part of the string asks for the replacement but when I leave that empty eg "" it doesnt work. Is this task a misuse of string_replace?

 

That should work fine (I use it myself). Its probably the first part that is not matching the right text.

 

I've run into an issue trying to do something similar to what you're doing. I've got the page to load and work just fine except for one thing, and I swear it has to do with IIS or the ASP.net engine.

Here's what I used:

------------------------------------------------------------
$handle = fopen("http://youraddresshere.com/","rb");
while (!feof($handle)) {
$content .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);
------------------------------------------------------------

It works fine except for Javascript that the ASP.net engine inserts into the code for certain ASP.net web user controls. The page I'm loading in has a "Log In" .Net framework control on it, which requires some javascript to exist for it to function.

If I hit the ASP page directly and do a View Source from the browser this what is properly returned:

------------------------------------------------------------
<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="default.aspx" id="aspnetForm">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.aspnetForm;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit();
}
}
//]]>
</script>
------------------------------------------------------------

However, if I hit that same page by means of the PHP fopen my view source looks like this instead:

------------------------------------------------------------
<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="default.aspx" id="aspnetForm">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUJMjUzNTk5OTE4D2QWAmYPZBYCAgMPZBYEAgMPZBYCAgIPZBYCZg9

------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the hidden EVENTTARGET fields and all of the ASP.net generated javascript are missing, which of course doesn't allow the page to function properly.
