PHP & ASP.net near about some little difference
Actually active server pages & hypertext preprossesor
we use for internet platform.

ASP codes are usually run on Windows platforms but if you install ASP-Apache in the server than it can run on Linux platform as well. PHP has a unique advantage in this issue. Its codes can be linked with different types of platforms such as Windows, Linux and UNIX.

Both are server-side technologies and allow to do a lot of things thanks to their huge frameworks out of the box. ASP.NET is a Microsoft technology while PHP is open source. In regard of the hosting, that makes a diffference price wise (PHP/MYSQL is cheaper than ASP.NET/SQL SERVER hosting).

Same if you want to find developers, a MYSQL/PHP dev is cheaer than a ASP.NET.

I would say unless you have good reasons to use ASP.NET (you know a good developer etc), it would be easier for you to use PHP/MySQL.

Very inaccurate article, like Joseph Bergevin has already said, ASP.NET can be used
with any DB, and also different languages not only VB. If you use C#
it also resembles C++ / Java.
You are not tied to IIS, there’re other servers which can run ASP.NET and they’re are also free.

ASP.NET will not run efficiently on Apache, I know this from practical experience. Do not try this at home - ASP.NET is for Windows servers only.

What? ASP.NET isn’t tied to MS SQL. You can use any old database you want. I use PostgreSQL on a few. MS also offer a free version of SQL Server with almost all of the same features, but a 4GB database size limit.

ASP.NET isn’t limited in its choice of languages, either. Any .NET language will do, so if you’re used to C, use C++ or C# or Jscript instead of VB.

Speed? ASP.NET compiles, so it runs slower the first time a page is accessed. After that, the code is already in memory, and executes significantly faster than PHP. The framework also has a nice caching feature that enables frequently accessed pages to be served almost instantly.

ASP.NET can also be used without all of its features. If you don’t like Web Forms or Web Controls, use plain old HTML. If you don’t like code-behind, embed your code, ala PHP.

Honestly, ASP.NET is the more professional platform, it just takes longer to learn. Does PHP even offer an application state?

Very nice article! I found it rather enjoyable to read, and it was not completely biased. I love programming with PHP. I am not too fond of the syntax used with ASP, as well. I have noticed much faster execution time on PHP opposed to ASP.NET. The pages load much faster on PHP, typically.

ASP.NET is also nice, but it’s all bassed on what you need to do, and your preference.
