How can I execute PHP code from ASP.NET MVC

Question

I want to do something like the following:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // Redirect to the phpinfo.php file
    public ActionResult PhpInfo()
    {
        return RedirectToRoutePermanent("~/Views/Home/PhpInfo.php");
    }
}

This errors out saying that the route cannot be found.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Zain

if you already have php installed and supported in the virtual directory / site you could use the absolute url .. you don't have to use an action sitename/phpInfo.php you'll need to move PhpInfo.php to the root though. — scartag

Yes you can simply specify <a href="PhpInfo.php">Php Info</a> if php is supported on the virtual directory / site it should work. — scartag

You should install something like FastCGI for IIS to actually support PHP files. — user153923

Answer from scartag in the comments. Stating it below for posterity:

It doesn't seem to be possible using the C# part of ASP.NET, but you can post links by using <a href="/PhpInfo.php">PHP Info</a> syntax
