Can we use PHP classes in Asp.net

I have got some library files in PHP. i want to use them in asp.net. please give me some idea that开发者_如何学Python how to use it or how to convert it to be used in asp.net (vb.net). actually i want to connect with a xml based web service (HostelsClub) but they just have API in PHP not in asp.net. so what to do.

If it's an XML service, especially if it is a 3rd party service, and is performing fine in PHP, why not simply call the service from .net using XML-RPC or similar? I'm not sure from your question that you actually need to be re-writing the PHP service.

XML services should be consumable from any language providing the XML call structures are known.

Although their API is written in PHP that should be irrelevant unless it is a code-dependent API. Reading between the lines of your query ("want to connect to...") it's not clear whether this is a local library that you need to connect to from PHP to PHP, or whether you simply need to call/connect to a web based service that has been built on-top of the library that you mention. If it's a web-based service then all major protocols are certainly possible in .net, php, ruby, perl, etc.

That's the way how it works with c#

Tomasp.net

I'm not sure about vb.net but it's .net at all.

Hai,

Have a look at this

Your best bet would be to learn more than one language so you aren't completely dependent on any particular vendor.
