When I said that php was better than asp, I didn't mean on the
'functionality' level, I mean heck asp is pretty much visual basic and
you can't go wrong with that. I meant it on an overall implementation
level - you need to be running IIS, which has more holes than swiss
cheese. I don't have any experience with ASP.NET, because I quickly
moved to php when I found it to be the far superior and more stable
architecture at the time (about three years ago). Since then both
languages have grown and both have their place, but for something like
server scripting and interfacing with half-life, I would have to say
that php is inherently better (just as hlds_l is better than hlds ;])

Well, I'm no database expert but if MySQL doesn't need you meets and you
don't want to go spend lots of money for a commercial DBS on Linux, you
should make sure to check out PostgreSQL the next time you need to set
one up under Unix. It is more advanced than MySQL, e.g. providing stored
procedures and row-level locking. I haven't used it myself but I do know
that it is often used when a full-fledged DBS is needed instead of the
rather low-end MySQL solution. Just a tip. :)
