PHP vs ASP??

Yep, there have been many blog posts elsewhere about which one to use. And they all point to... PHP. I agree.

Point 1: You'll find that because PHP is open source, hosts that support PHP are cheaper. And with some hosts, ASP servers usually cost quite a bit more.

Point 2: On hotscripts.com, a website providing an innumerable number (not really) of scripts, there are more than four times as many PHP scripts as there are ASP ones.

If you are talking about functionality, basically anything that works in one language works in another; that is not to say that both are interchangeable, just that they both have equivalent functions.

For those that don't know what these languages are, they are server-side scripting languages that allow people to view pages (containing PHP/ASP and HTML) that have been processed in the server, then only the HTML part is sent to the browser. This makes the webpage much more useful, for simple applications
