[ale] asp user learning php?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Thanks.

On checking that out it appears he hasn’t done any enhancements for several years:
http://asp2php.mikekohn.net/


However, that made me check out asp to php converters which seems to have a slightly newer resource:
http://www.design215.com/toolbox/translator/trans_login.php

Also that has a link to something like I was seeking which is a cross-reference.

I have a friend that does web design using asp that wants to start going the open source route.

He specifically asked me about learning php and I have loaned him an O’Reilly book that talks about php, MySQL and one other thing as well as my Apache book.   I had those but really don’t do web design myself.

Are there any good recommendations for what to look at to get up to speed on php if one is used to asp?

Specifically he’d asked me if there is a design environment like that for asp so he doesn’t have to do everything in text editors.   Since I’m not familiar with asp I’m not sure what environment he is speaking of but thought someone on this list might.


A related tool he may find useful is asp2php which is an offline converter to translate existing asp pages to php

Last time I used it was probably 10-12 years ago, and at that time it did a reasonably good job. At least with the sites I migrated with it, I remember being impressed by how little I had to fix the resulting php afterwards. No idea how it's kept up with the evolution of both languages, but might be something for him to be aware of
