Quick asp tutorial for a php developer????

Hello,

As a php developer i have been asked to convert a .asp/.mdb based website to a php/mysql website.

I have never develop with .asp so i need your advice. All static .asp files can be convert with no problems.

But i see a folder called data with a .mdb file in it.
I guess this is the Microsoft access database file, can i import this into a mysql database?

Is there an access equivalent as phpmyadmin?

What are common pitfalls when converting .asp to php??

Ignore the database type, once you have connection in place just stick to SQL.

 

Converting from ASP-Access to PHP-MySQL should be straight forward, unless there are proprietary calls in the ASP code or the odd JetSQL code. For example, if the ASP calls and instantiates Microsoft-specific components or the database is using stored queries or embedded functions. Another tip, if the Access migration is a problem then look at using ODBC and PHP.

$db = ADONewConnection('access');
$dsn =
"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=d:\inetpub\data\northwind.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;";
$db->Connect($dsn);

Good luck!
