Hi guys, I am working on the front end of a web page and there is a back end guy doing the database side. How do I sync his asp files to mine? Is it as simple as inserting a <body> tag and his php files will show up? Sorry I am unfamiliar with asp. I am using dreamweaver studio 2004 on a pc platform. Thanks very much!

How to insert ASP database files into my html?
- Thread starter Hisakata
- Start date
A web site may be on a web server that runs ASP scripts; or it may be on a web server that runs PHP script; but it is unlikely it is on a server that runs both. They are alternative systems for generating HTML.
Your work is most likely HTML. You could have links to PHP or ASP pages. If the database content is completely separate from your content, then that might be how it will work.
More likely your work is the static content, in HTML, and his work is the dynamic content, HTML generated by a script that retrieves data from a database; and the two must be merged into a single page. In this case the most likely method will be that your static content will become part of an ASP or PHP script.
Static HTML -
This file is named welcome.html
Dynamic HTML generated by ASP -
This file is named find_name.asp
The two files could be combined like this -
This is a new file named welcome.asp

'database access code resulting in the name of the person
' who is viewing the page.

visitorName = rsGet.Fields("firstname").value

Hello <%= visitorName %>

The ASP tutorial (and then the ADO tutorial for getting stuff into and out of the database) at is pretty good, and is pretty gentle at taking you through it.
