ASP.Net Or PHP, Which Is Better?

ASP.NET and PHP both have a similar purpose in offering server-side programming. The differences are:

* ASP.NET is more expensive becuase it runs on IIS, whilst PHP runs on Linux which is free
* More web hosts offer PHP
* I've heard that PHP runs faster (though I'm not 100% sure if this is accurate)
* ASP.NET is more object-oriented, whilst PHP doesn't have to be

I prefer ASP.NET because I've done more programming in .NET and also it's a lot faster for me to create good-looking GUIs with .NET (esp. in Visual Studio), while in PHP I'm still not able to produce a professioanl look. Furthermore, in PHP you have to write the SQl yourself, while with .NET you can easily select the database tables - so it's much easier and also looks better. I recommend ASP.NET.
 
I've done some programming in ASP.NET .. there is an option to write in VB script which is very similar to Visual Basic. The learning curve is pretty easy, especially if you already know Visual Basic. It only took me about a day to setup a website with username, password, registration, email address verification, and use of an SQL database for everything (Which I did for the learning experience, didn't actually need the website)
 
it mainly depends on you bro.

are you more into OOP ? (object oriented programming)

or script writing ?



if you're better at OOP concept and coding, you should use .NET. if you're more into script writing, PHP will be a good choice.

if you look at the hosts, many servers supports PHP and PHP is free.

i like PHP and using it, its fast and easy but it sucks when it comes to OOT concept.
