ASP can 'host' other languages that are designed to be used in ASP.
Currently VBScript and JScript ship with IIS, and PerlScript is available.
PHP is not something which can directly be plugged into the ASP architecture.
Having said that, most of the MS people I know that use ASP ALWAYS
use VBScript. There are just comparatively few JScript examples
and books re: ASP in relation to VBScript things. I worked someplace
where they kept telling me I had to do the site in "ASP", so I did a couple
of the pages in JScript. No one was happy, as NO ONE else at the company
had day 1 experience with Jscript in a production environment
(this was ~30+ ASP programmers - it was ALL VBScript). So the bit about
"use multiple languages" is, imo, misleading at best. If YOU want to, and
the project is just for you, go ahead. If it's a commercial project
for a client who wants/needs "ASP" they mean VBScript.
