I don't think the book is wrong, just that is a very very bad idea, since it will cause the page to
have to processed twice (once by the ASP engine and then the PHP engine) before it is render in the
browser, and then if you have errors, well it should be fun trying to fix them. Also both use
sessions which could cause problems.
I don't know of any conversions applications, but I have never looked for any. What I have done is
to look at what the PHP script was doing, and then re-write the same functionality using VBScript.
Also when you look a various sites on the web, you will not see a site using more than one
server-side scripting technology. At least I haven't.
Even with ASP and ASP.net it is not a good idea to mix the two, but can be done.
I prefer to learn one technology and to learn it as well as possible, then to learn a bunch of
technologies and not know any them very well.
