ASPX from within PHP?

[Willie Trombone]

Is there any way of hosting an aspx page within a PHP page - i.e. just a reference to it... sort of like Google does with it's image search results (it opens a page on their server with the original page displayed below the top 'frame')...?

An iframe perhaps?

 

[Willie Trombone]

Perhaps - have you tried it yet? Has anyone tried this?
My example:
I have a php web app running under apache, I want to link to an ASPX app without losing the header and navigation controls. The ASPX app is hosted in IIS and is AJAX based - Google Maps based to be precise... would that work?

Don't those embedded Google Maps use <iframe>?

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Might be...?

 

[SilverNodashi]

Is the ASPX page on the same server, or on another?

One way of doing it is to embed it in an AJAX'ed script. We had a similar discussion here. Another way is to use PHP's "require_once" function.

But you should be able to run the .NET app in an iframe, regardless of where the application is located. If you're able to open the application from the same browser you open the PHP app, then it should work in an iframe. You could even pass parameters through to the .NET application from the PHP application by dynamically building up the URL to post through the iframe.
