There's no doubt that PHP is the language of choice for this project. As for .NET, you would be using Asp.Net, or have to do somethign like C# web programming. I'm not entirley sure how it all fits together, as I don't do web programming with .NET. #1 reason why is because if you do, you are basicly stuck using IIS as a web server, meaning you will have to be running windows as a server, which I personally don't like. Why do it in Asp, have to run a unsecure server app, on a unsecure OS, and have to pay for it all, when you can do it in PHP for free, on a secure linux server. Little more work, but it's worth it in the long run. Let alone, if it's in asp, anything other than IE will have some problems running it.
