PHP vs ASP

[trinitybrown]

Which server side scripting language is better to use now-a-days:<br /><br />1. PHP<br />2. ASP<br /><br />and why? post your reply with reasons

I cant tell you exactly which one is better, because i never tried to learn asp.<br />I&#39;ve learnt PHP and i am very satisfied with its features and the large possibilities. <br />As far as i know ASP is from Microsoft. I would rather use software nonMicrosoft, because i like encouraging the open source projects. There is PHP 6 coming soon (i hope) which will be better and bug less. So i stick with PHP.<br />But i also read on many blogs &amp; forums that there is Ruby on Rails which is more flexible and more &quot;web 2.0&quot;. <br />If you are willing to learn PHP (or ASP) you can do that on http://w3schools.com . I recommend it to all who ask me where to start learning web programming, because it was the place i&#39;ve learnt myself php,javascript,css and many more.

I don&#39;t think one is better than the other. I would use whichever you know best. If you don&#39;t know either, then I would start with PHP.

PHP is a lot more easy to learn.
