On this server, I can use both .cfm and .php files. Both types will be parsed, as expected.
However, I want .cfm files to be parsed for php, as well. For example,
//test.cfm:
<cfoutput>hello from cf</cfoutput>
<?php echo 'hello from php'; ?>
// outputs the php, verbatim, without processing :(
I know that I can change the php config, to parse .cfm. I dont know what order the parsing will take place or any other pros and cons, tricks and tips.
The goal here is that I want to wrap php (which i know well) into a cfm file (much less experience). The cfm file will be in an admin section, which automatically checks the user auth, and includes other cf files.
So, it seems to me that if coldfusion parses the file (checking the user-auth and all that), then hands it over to php, that would be the process that I am looking for.
