Hey guys,

Im in a bit of a dilemma. The time has come for me to try (somewhat) to create a database driven site. Which language do you think would be better? It involves the simple recall of information based on keywords provided by the consumer.

PHP ofcourse (well, atleast in my opinion).

It's fast, efficient and atleast as secure as ASP. You also need a crappy windows server for ASP, ain't I right? PHP is multiplatform. Correct me if I'm not. Also ASP mostly uses MS-SQL, which ain't free.

That site has some more info. I'm not really the one to compare these two since I have no experience of ASP.

Thanks for the input. As far as i know, asp may be run on a *nix based machine with an apache plugin installed....

Oh, don't even get me started. VBScript is evil. It will eat your *brain*! (Ok, mabye not, but I have no other good explaination for how so many programmers of one language can be so bad). JScript will ruin any hope you have at being good at JavaScript. ASP performs poorly and has almost no libraries. The ones you find on the net are often buggy to death.

Php is nearest from C and C++ wich is the language is use the most.
It's runnable on most of the servers on the world (apache > iis), better support, etc...
Most sites I have seen in asp looks horrible, as we find in php the best ones. (i'm not saying there are no bad sites made in php, just that coding with asp is crappy)
