PHP can not run ASP code. Although they serve the same purpose, they are two very different things.
If you paste the ASP code into a .php document and try to run it, one of two things will happen.
Either PHP is configured to accept ASP markup, in which case it will try to execute your ASP code as PHP, obviously causing errors.
Or it will ignore them all together and send them as HTML to the browser, where it will most likely be displayed as a part of the page.

I'm sure this is possible with some trickery, but even then I would reccoment against it.
