asked on Simple ASP webpage to PHP webpage conversion
Can someone convert this ASP webpage to a PHP page please? I need to call this barcode from a .php file where ASP is not enabled. The .aspx will need to say the same.
Thanks

The example from ziceva will work if you have short-open tags enabled. Many installations turn off short-open tags because of the risk of collisions with XML strings.

I find the HEREDOC notation to be especially useful for things like this. It lets you separate the logic from the presentation.

See http://www.laprbass.com/RAY_temp_tncode.php?q=12345 for an example. In the code snippet you can follow the variable $q to see how it works.

<?php // RAY_temp_tncode.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// THIS IS THE PROGRAM LOGIC. IT CREATES ALL THE VARIABLES WE NEED IN THE HTML OUTPUT STREAM
// RECEIVE THE BARCODE DATA FROM THE URL STRING OR SET A DEFAULT VALUE
$q = (!empty($_GET["q"])) ? $_GET["q"] : '0000';
// AFTER THE PROGRAM LOGIC HAS COMPLETED, WE USE THE VARIABLES IN THE HTML
// CREATE THE HTML STRING USING HEREDOC NOTATION
$htm = <<<HTM
<html>
<title>The Barcode for $q</title>
<body>
<p>This web page doe not actually use PHP code to create a barcode. It sends <b>$q</b> to an external service.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.bcgen.com/demo/linear-dbgs.aspx?Barcode=$q"></p>
</body>
</html>
HTM;
// PRODUCE THE BROWSER OUTPUT
echo $htm;
I suspect the code you have is more complicated than this and there is a ASP->PHP converter script that works for simple cases such as this
