There are a few tools I've seen that will try to convert ASP to PHP, but
for the most part, they can't handle very complex code, so you're
probably better off just rewriting it and learning PHP on the way.
By the way, I have moved this over to -general, as this is quite off
topic for -hackers. Next person to reply please remove the
pgsql-hackers address from the CC list please.
