I don't know about ASP, but PHP doesn't use a daemon per se. It's
typically implemented as an Apache module or a CGI.

This is a FAQ on the PHP site <http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#9.1>.

IMHO, yes, it is an MS thing; but there are non-MS and "open" versions of
ASP.

A while back I read that PHP was used on more web sites than ASP, for
whatever that's worth (but keep in mind the greater number of smaller web
sites that use PHP skew that statistic). Also keep in mind that PHP runs
perfectly fine on both *nix and Windows.
