PHP or ASP?

Onlife · 04-11-2007, 09:05 PM

Overall, what do most people think is a better platform for web development... PHP or ASP?

Or is it just personal taste?

I'd like to know this for future predictions on the life of either of these.

Will html always have a future???

I see more sites coded in php than asp so it would seem thats the favourite at the moment.

PHP is better because it is more popular, you will find far more free php scripts than free asp scripts, and also it is easier to learn than ASP.
You'll be able to get more jobs with php than asp if you are a freelance programmer.

If you look mostly big CORPS/SITES use ASP, look: www.tunisia.com. ASP pays more money than php jobs do. Personally I only used a tiny bit of ASP.NET, but prefer PHP!

php is better than asp . i suggest you to use php for your sites

Onlife · 04-12-2007, 03:35 AM

Looks as though PHP is winning the race...

Haven't done any php before... time to learn... yay!

PHP has more support, as DRE said, its for more coperate websites witch need large applications built into the site.

Hi there,

It also depends on what server you have;

Windows = ASP, ASP.NET, PHP
Linux = PHP

I actually prefer PHP because there is more support.

Php is better!

Onlife · 04-12-2007, 09:02 PM

Are there any good resources or websites that you know of that can assist with easy learning of php?

Intripita-MH · 04-12-2007, 09:15 PM

www.php.net is the official guide

PHP is open source and for that reason, I really like PHP. It's also free and widely supported.

ASP is the Microsoft standard for web development. So if you prefer the more expensive but maybe more stable route of development, then head over to ASP hosting.

PHP is the best. I did some asp about 1 years ago and i did not like it at all.

It's really personal preference and what you feel most comfortable with!

I myself find PHP much easier as a server side scripting language then ASP!

PHP is capable of doing about the same as ASP minus a few quirks here and there but, if you have not programmed before I would definitely say PHP is the choice for the novice user..

Its much easier to learn and easier to integrate...into an exisisting website

But that’s my opinion!

ASP.net is quite ok if you have a background on using Visualbasic.net but i prefer to use PHP its very challenging.

Katey · 04-13-2007, 09:44 AM

Hi there,

Depending on what server side scripting you decide to learn, if you learn one, the other is pretty easy to migrate to, they are both pretty much the same, they just use different syntax.
