I learned PHP on windows before someone slapped me with a fish and got me to move to linux.

No one has really made any new argument that I wouldn't make.
All of the hosting plans that I have been attached to, happened to have been on linux servers, so, I had no need to learn ASP.

And, really, until I find a server that supports it, and then buy some space, yeah right, I won't have a way of testing asp out.

PHP came really easy, after those of you in this group walked me through some of the more difficult tasks. I feel confident in it, even though, I have only been messing with it for about 2 months now.

It seems that PHP is the way to go, in my book at least.

I'd say PHP, 'cause I like the syntax.

Interesting, you can't do it with XP Home?

I use ASP, primarily because I learned it first and haven't yet looked at PHP. I use Xeneo personal web server for my testing environment, it offers native asp support. It is not free though, but only 99.00 dubloons. I use Xp home because that is what my system came with, but it was not actually intended to be a development environment, need Xp Pro for that and then IIS comes with it.

I am sure PHP is just great, I never used though.

i'm talking out of my ass at this point but i would say php has the upper hand here with cross-compatibility and accesibility. microsoft just keeps creating these great technologies with the stipulation that it be used under their OS/bowsers/whatever. they're aiming for total domination of the market which is unreasonable. UNIX-based systems will always be around and it's simply stupid to paint yourself into a corner that way. what the fuck is JScript!?! a "microsoft implementation of Javascript"? that's a little bit ridiculous in my opinion. on the other hand, C# has shown some great promise.

C# has a very clean syntax (at least to me), but since this topic is ASP vs. PHP, I'll go with PHP because a. I like the community verily and b. I don't know enough ASP to survive my first application. heh.

Hrm? Yes, it's MicroSoft's implementation of JavaScript, just like KJS/JavaScriptCore is KHTML/WebCore's (Konqueror/Safari) implementation of JavaScript and SpiderMonkey is Gecko's (Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox/Camino) JavaScript implementation. They all diverge slightly, and all add substandard extensions every now and again.
It's just that JScript is prone to leak memory by the bucket.

I hear you Berto...there's nothing that bothers me more than a lecturer that dosent know what they're talking about
