PHP to CF 2

[henkb52]

In our company we have a few web servers/applications running on different platforms, and finally made the decision to standarize everything on CF. Now we are running into some trouble, we have applications in asp and php which should be converted to CF.

Do you know if there are any tools which can do the works or give a start on converting these applications?

There are no tools that I am aware of that will automoatically convert them over. I have done some work in ASP, but I am most experienced in CF. Post any questions you have here and I am sure an answer can get to you quickly. There are a lot of people who have worked with PHP that are also familiar with CF as well, so you are in good company here.

I'm currently in the same position.

Luckily we started standardizing ColdFusion before heavily integrating PHP. So, we were lucky. I am currently hand-converting. I have one other person helping me make the switch.

I did research on the topic and only found out that people hand-convert their code. The more people you have that know CF and PHP, the better.

My suggestion to you is to keep your PHP applications and use them for now while you (on the side) code those PHP apps in ColdFusion. When they are done in ColdFusion, back up your PHP scripts and deploy your ColdFusion ones.
