I have used php for my company's site for years. However, there is now a requirement to interact with a Windows server using xml - and, without gong into detail, a decision was made to use asp.net to handle that. There seem to be 3 options:
Rewrite the entire site in asp.net - a big but not impossible task.
Code the handling of the xml on the windows server itself, and incorporate that in a standard-layout php page using an iframe.
Switch to a Windows server web host, but leave the existing pages in php and MySQL, and write new pages in asp.net
Option 3 is unconventional - but would it be OK?
