OT: ASP vs PHP - was...Re: FLASH: Site Check - BopShop

[Cheri Harder]

ASP or PHP....PHP or ASP...


Sitting here, poised to begin learning, and just can't seem to make the

decision.  I was going to learn ASP because the only way I can practice is

by "uploading" to my own Personal Web Server....Now I find a site that walks

me through installation of PHP to PWS.


So...pros & cons?  I'm familiar with SQL, having been heavily involved with

programming a very large R:Base application (DOS-based) for many years.  Am

somewhat familiar with Visual Basic.  The syntax of either PHP or ASP looks

fairly easy to pick up.  What other things should I keep in mind?

Cross-browser portability?  %'s of Web Hosts supporting them?  Type of

server needed?  # of support groups?  Something else technical that I don't

know about yet?


I'm not knowing.  Any comments appreciated!
