ASP to PHP Converter

I would like to know if there is any asp to php converter available for free anywhere on the internet. I don't want to have to create both a website and a shopping cart all from scratch. I already have a website on the internet using asp. Please help.

You can have half your site in asp and half in php. I don't see any reason why you need to convert. Are you using a database for your website now? You may just want to convert that to mySQL and keep your asp catelog in tact. Then add ecart functionality and checkout in php. PHP will run on an IIS server.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

How is that possible in a UNIX system? So either keep the IIS server or move over to a UNIX? I don't have a database now but I will in the next few months along with a shopping cart.

You don't need a UNIX system. If you want to use UNIX you will probably have to move away from ASP entirely.

Thank You for this information. I will keep the IIS server and only use PHP for database and shopping cart so that I won't have to convert all of my 2000+ pages to php. I don't think that converting asp to php is possible without some headaches.
