You can put them both on the same page, but only one of them will work because only one will get parsed.

You can use a bit of trickery to get CFM in a PHP page as you can use fopen() to open an http connection to your CFM paghe, read in the info and display it in your PHP page.

I am not sure about how much you know about coldfusion, but what you can do is something like this;

Have your PHP script ina seperate file, and as you have it parsed have the results saved as an external txt file, then have coldfusion do two things, parce its template and then do a cffile and append the php output to the coldfusion output, other than that I am not too sure how you could execute those two server side languages in on template call.

It is best to keep them seperate and if there is a task you want to do with coldfusion but only know how to do with php, just ask and you are sure to get the technique
