A real interesting challenge and when I first read it I thought the same 
thing, instead of using the short form of tags, using a more extended form 
such as

Your new job is getting real interesting!

Did you try it on a test file? If it works then the parsing in the web 
server can be overloaded, for lack of a better term.

So whether the extension is .asp or .php, watch for the tags and treat them 
appropriately, that it?

Darn right 'wow'!

I can keep the ASP seperate from the PHP by use of the proper tags for this
instance. So...

<% stuff here gets executed by ASP %>


Interestingly enough, the following worked ...but I will not use it in
production;



<%
response.write("fooID")
%>



returned

SELECT foo FROM bar where fooID = '4'

Nuts, huh?

You don't mean within the same file do you? If so (though I doubt it)
I'm sure there will be lots of problems! 

On the other hand if you're just having one file (that may be written in
vbs) talk to another file (PHP perhaps) via GET, POST, or COOKIE I don't
see why you would have a problem. Working with the SESSION might be a
problem though.
