My initial reaction is no, not directly. Same answer for ASPs. At least not
with our current architecture. Now my understanding of PHP and ASP is
limited to book learning. I have never used them. But I understand that with
PHP you embed PHP commands in the HTML and name it with a .PHP extension so
that the Web server knows to run the PHP engine.
The way PH Web works is that you have a page that passes requests to the Web
Server which launches the PHCGI, which in turn passes the request to the PH
Web Dispatcher and in turn to the PH Web Server (think QUICK sitting waiting
for a screen to run - a rough approximation). The PH Web Server processes
the request and formats the results page based on an HTML template. The
results are sent back to the waiting PHCGI and then to the Web Server and
browser as a text stream.
Since the output of the PH Web Server is a text stream, there is no way for
the Web server to know that PHP (or ASP) should be run.
Of course different pages within an application can be PHP, ASP, of PH Web,
but you can't have all in one.
My question is - what do you want to do with PHP that you can't do with PH
Web?
