Jeez, I am not sure if this is possible at all (as the .asp page would be
called by the CF server and not by the asp engine)...

Subject: [ cf-dev ] CF to ASP


Dear All

I am having to access Asp code from CF 5  and there are a couple of points
which I am unsure of;

1. How do I call the code? Would  <CFINCLUDE URL="this_code.asp">  work, or
would I have to use <CFMODULE TEMPLATE ="this_code.asp">

2. If I pass a FORM variable into the page (FORM.X), could I access it from
the asp, ie.


In the CF page...
      <CFINCLUDE URL="this_code.asp">

and inside this_code.asp...

      formX = Request.Form.Item("X")


3. I'd heard that you cannot access client variables directly from Asp, but
is it safe to access the client variables database from Asp? I can view the
format in SQL Server, but I've not tried accessing it from code directly -
especially as the code will be asp.

The alternative is to copy the client variables that I need to a seperate
set of tables where Asp can access it - I don't want to have to mess around
with hidden form fields because there could be silly amounts of data flying
around.

Is this a safe solution for an eCommerce site - its not a good solution, but
'good' was kind of knackered by me having to use Datacash, which for the
record, doesn't work in CF, Asp.net, Delphi... not that I'm bitter or
anything.


Thanks
