How to Run a Coldfusion Page From PHP

ColdFusion is a rapid application development software program developed and marketed by Adobe Systems. It is typically used to create Web applications with the proprietary scripting language ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). PHP is a server-side scripting language that is also typically used to develop dynamic web applications. With specific syntax (<cf_php>) available in ColdFusion 8 and later, you can implement PHP code into your ColdFusion files.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe ColdFusion 8 or later

Instructions

1. Find your Adobe ColdFusion "cfm"/"cfml" file, right click on it, click on "Open with," then click on "Notepad."

2. Copy and paste the following code into the Adobe ColdFusion file:

   <cf_php>

   <?php

   EXAMPLE PHP CODE

   ?>

   </cf_php>

   Replace "EXAMPLE PHP CODE" with the PHP code you want to implement into the Adobe ColdFusion file.

3. Press Ctrl and S on your keyboard to save the Adobe ColdFusion file. Exit Notepad.
