What's better? Php or ASP.net?
 

Which do you prefer? Which one is better in your opinion?

No way. Really?

PHP hands down for me.

PHP - but then I cant do shit in ASP

Also I dont think you use ASP on a LINUX machine... there was chiliASP but I dont thonk it was any good or been upgraded to work with .net

PHP rocks.

Both have their advantages. Personally, PHP is great for any kind of small script/project, etc. It's cheap to write, cheap to host, and known by much more people.

.NET however is something that can be a little more complicated. I'd use it if I had any huge site running that needed to maintain many databases and other stuff going on. It can be more expensive to host as well.

PHP is great for almost everything, but if you have something very large and plan on using it for a long time, I'd consider .NET.

All my sites use PHP but I had some programmers trying to convince me to switch to ASP. I figured PHP was/is better, just wanted to get some feedback.

The right tool for the right job / infrastructure / situation

If you have a bunch of unix / linux servers running apache, then PHP.
If you're NT based and you have a bunch of PHP programmers - then PHP
If you're NT based and you have a bunch of ASP / .NET programmers - then ASP
If you're unix / linux based and need connection pooling to databases, session management, etc - Java
blah blah blah


granted, i'm kind of making that shit up, but you get the idea

I vote for PhP

You're going to get some Windows Sluts that tell you that asp.net is better....
The truth is....Its slower, more unefficient and more prone to crash than php/linux system. If any programmer tells you to use asp.net they either 1) Were trained in asp.net/windows server and not so much in php/linux or 2) The one legit reason to use asp.net....they are using it to communicate with visual basic.

php is a great web language... and you can do just about anything with it

asp.net is a great framework... emphasis on framework... it provides so much more than just a programming language..currently there are over 25 languages that are .net compatable... so its not really a good comparison to compare php with asp.net... different things really

php if u ask me :thumbsup (if we are comparing php to asp) . .not sure about the whole .net stuff.

php :thumbsup
