ASP.net vs PHP, relative strength, what is better?

[dude]

I know there was a thread on it before. But that was for asp vs php. This time I want to know what is best between asp.net and php. I heard that ASP.net has made a lot of improvement over ASP itself and is a much more robust language now. So what do you think? ASP.net is better than php now? Does asp.net has more relative strength and features than PHP?

I do not have a VB background so I never tried ASP or later ASP.net. I cannot really comment on the relative strength of ASP.net over php. People have been telling me also that ASP.net is much better than ASP and ASP is slowly dying. Perhaps, the strongest point on part of ASP.net is its capability to seamlessly work between a desktop application and web based application through dll files. Which is of course, a great plus. Event trigerring is much easier and there are many built in visual tools available. You can transport C# and ASP.net in a flash.

However, I like php better perhaps, because that's what I know between the two. I have not run into a cul de sac with php so far. If I ever do perhaps, I may consider getting into ASP.net. Php's best strength is it is open source and free. Thus the greater number of people will always be using it. The php engine will be refined to perfection as days go by.

ASP.net is also expensive to install in a server. 60% of web server runs on apache because it is open source and free. And all apache servers have PHP installed. So getting a php, apache package is also cheaper.

Both are same. everything can be done by both. But if you go for Web server seurity then PHP is ok as IIS have several security hole.


But I am at the Side of Microsoft. whatever the result comes.

Oh hasnut you are just a microsoft lover! But that's no excuse for liking everything that microsoft do. You like it even when a microsoft product is bad?

Is that like a philosophical paradox? Or you are joking? It's like saying there is no human that is a murderer.

Yes, The Virus Attatck is not mean that its a bad one. And why people are so worried as because the world is using the MS products everywhere. And for the Hackers they feel comfortable as the vast number of uses.

And oviously there are huge numbers of uses in MS products rather than others.

Actually who are talking about linux or other softwares here also don't like MS but they can't do anything without it in real life. or even posting here with MS products. MS

By the way this again going to off topic.
