I agree with you guys. PHP is still a great web development language and now ASP.NET going to be a good rival for it. But PHP has its power from its opensource community and millions of installed instances of it in the web, therefore it will be a hard task
for ASP.NET to overcome such a powefull competetive. Mohsen Aghajani moh_aqa@yahoo.com
Hmm... I'd actually be willing to disagree on this one. (Just for fun. :) ) PHP is a great language - I certainly won't deny that. But one can hardly compare it to ASP.net. Though classic ASP had a lot of drawbacks and limits which pertain to PHP, ASP.net is
extensible and powerful on an enterprise scale. I'm not sure if PHP could ever compete with that. I think ASP.net and JSP's/servlets will duke it out on the high end. On the low end (the small apps you need to quickly develop), it's really anyone's game, and
I have a feeling a lot of people are going to stick with PHP for a while to come. Hopefully developers (and managers - cough) will realize the benefits of asp.net so that they may put them to use on the low end in the future. Some semblance of standardization
would be nice. ;) Wait. I guess I didn't disagree with you. Ah well - being this bored at work will do such things to me. Cheers! .steve
Hello everyone... This is my first reply here... and it happens to be in support of php :) Anyway... I am trying to learn ASP.NEt... and frankly speaking... php is much easier to work with... Plus... there are many things you can do with it that are beyond
regular functions... like building pdf and swf files... Add to that one important thing that really makes it important to me... It is not platform dependant.... Anyway, I will be working on ASP.NET... and I admit... the built-in validation procedures make
me love it... yet I am still not removed from php
not to get into some flaming discussion, but perhaps we should be fully aware of what we talk about. ASP was a scripting language, and ASP.NET is not. and as far as platform independence, nextstep, you may want to look at http://www.go-mono.com. That way you
can run ASP.NET on the same free UNIX box that your php runs from (assuming you're using a UNIX box, based on the platform independent comment). I like PHP, don't get me wrong, but the uninformed have the potential to be just as dangerous as the malicious.
As far as the "there are many things you can do with it that are beyond regular functions... like building pdf and swf files", I'll leave it to you to learn that those same things are available in ASP.NET, even if they may actually require some programming
on your part. *gasp* Just my .02
I think PHP is a great language but I also use ASP.NET that's why I have converted the cassini sample on this website to support PHP aswell. It will be finished very soon so if anyone wants a copy once it is finished then my email is in my profile. Make the
subject line read web server or something like that David Legg
OH man....the simplicity and huge resources of php , I love php. php is the best..thanks to all php developer. php.net has the best user manual you have ever seen. It listed all the functions ,class ..etc in the manual and as well as user contribution. And
guess what php is getting better every day. And i think php user community is larger then asp or asp.net. Asp.net is complex and lots of writting. Anyway new beginer wants to be web developer, I personally recomend start with php.Guess what I start learning
php by reading codes. Asp.net has to be more user friendly and simple and Microsoft should stop creating thier own tags. Whatever I said, I experienced it and it does not mean I hate asp.net
