I wouldn't see why not, but you would have to set your server up so that it knows to execute the code in the .asp file even though the file it's processing has a .php extenstion.
In other words, you have to set your server up to process asp code with .php extension.

Negative batman!
Because you are INCLUDING the .asp, it's like SSI, the file is being executed on the server and just slapped into the code. So you shouldn't have to do anything but include the file.
For example, this server doesn't read CGI if the file isn't named .cgi, but on the homepage there are about 5 CGI files and 1 PHP file included. Try that first.. if it doesn't work... then try the server crap
The reason that should work is the ASP is never actually put into the PHP but rather as an output to HTML

Yeah, Chris is probably right, BUT I do know for a fact you have to have both ASP and PHP installed on the server (which not many have).

As Neoracle here says, very few servers actually have both ASP and PHP support. And those who do, are usually Linux-based servers with Chili!ASP installed.
Chili!ASP is a bad implementation of ASP. It doesn't support the entire VBScript language, and it has a tendency to cache too much output (So you won't always get truly dynamic content when you need it.)
My recommendation: Use an IIS-based server if you are going to do ASP, even if that is less safe (But then again, when you buy a hosting package, isn't safety the concern of your host?)
