Hi, I'm a small business web developer, and I don't know much about servers.
I generally develop in ASP, and am looking at doing some work in PHP too.

I run IIS 5.0 and Win 2000 Pro on my machine. I want to know if it's
possible to run ASP scripts and PHP scripts on the same machine?

Does the server just distinguish between them based on the file extension?
I've seen all the info on www.php.net regarding PHP on IIS, but I'm worried
that I'll if I install it I won't be able to run my ASP scripts.

Thanks,
Matt.
