asked on

ASP.NET using PHP modules, Design suggestions needed

Hello,

I would like to get suggestions on the design question below.

We have a web based product with out 6 major modules.
Out of these, 2 modules are already developed in Windows server 2003, MS SQL 2008, IIS and Adobe ColdFusion.

The other 4 modules, we have the code developed in C# ASP.NET as part of another project.

1. My question is, is there a way in we can use these 4 modules developed in ASP.NET and use them together with other 2 modules?
2. If so will I be able to call the PHP/Coldfusion pages from ASP.NEt pages and viceversa
3. How will it impact on transferring the data between ASP.NEt forms and PHP forms?

Appreciate any inputs on these....
Thank you.

Probably the design you want would be some sort of Application Programming Interface ("API") to allow the various modules to communicate.  Decide what will be the "controller" for the application and write that in the language of your choice, passing parameters to the modules and receiving data back from the modules.  JSON is a good tool for API communication.  RESTful designs are the easiest to get right.
