ASP Translator - Convert ASP to PHP

v2.16, 2005-02-24 by Robert Giordano

2023 UPDATE

I wrote this utility WAY BACK in 2002, when everyone was still using Internet Explorer 5 and Netscape Navigator! ECMAScript 5 wasn't released until 2009 and didn't see full browser support until 2014. So, this code is ANCIENT, but it still works!! This page no longer requires registration or login, and is here mainly for nostalgia, LOL.

In 2023, I doubt many people need to convert legacy ASP/VBScript to PHP, but here's the original ASP Translator...


What is it?

The ASP translator is a free, online tool that will help you convert Microsoft's ASP to PHP. Simply paste some ASP code or ASP mixed with HTML in one box, click "translate" and PHP code, along with any HTML will appear in a second box. This utility will not convert everything, but it will save you hours of time by converting all of your variables, comments, if...then, for...next, complex response.write output and more, to PHP syntax.

From 2004-2009, The ASP translator was the only "client-side option" listed on php.net.

Paste ASP code or an ASP/HTML page in this box:

About

When I built this utility, I was using PHP 4 and 5, so some of the generated code might not follow the recommended practices for PHP 8 or newer. But my original ASP / PHP Cross Reference is still available, as well as many other free utilities in our toolbox.

So... are you still using this thing? Did it help you in the past? Please leave comments below!

thanks,

Robert Giordano

I've just updated the site to HTML5 and I believe I've fixed the problem with the registration emails. I haven't added any new features to the Translator but if I get enough requests, I might do it. Even though this thing is ten years old, it works pretty well as it is. Enjoy!

The ASP Translator is back!! Thanks to everyone for supporting our site. Some major upgrades are coming to Design215.com in the coming months but first we wanted to restore all of the utilities that have become so popular over the years. Please contact us if you find any errors or if you have any suggestions for improvements or new features!


...some data missing...

The ASP Translator has become a part of the all new Design215.com site! I will be updating the Translator in the next few weeks, after the transition to the new web site is complete.

2005.03.08
The login script has been tweaked so you can refresh the translator page without being directed back to the login page. A few people mentioned it so I fixed it.

2005.03.02
Today I finished the new login system. I finally got around to making a modular user management system in PHP and mySQL. It has a built-in email verification sytem, and it allows me to store comments next to the usernames of my friends. If someone is having trouble receiving the verification emails, I can log in and activate them manually. Oh yeah, and I'm converting the page layouts to CSS... yay.

The Translator has been upgraded to v2.16. It now supports #INCLUDE FILE, Response.redirect, Asc, Replace, and Split. Also, messages are dynamically added to the beginning of your script to help you debug. A typical message might be, "Script contains a redirect; check to see if the url has changed."
