I'd say try to get some C programmer continuing on php_dotnet.dll and make it support class constructors or maybe it was arguments that is the current limit... I know PHP and mono is about to start work together, but sometimes you need the MS stuff...
ASP.NET is most likely faster as it's compiled into machine code, and stored in memory... Accutually, I tested and it's true (hate to admit it though)... ASP.NET also has a better way to combine languages even if I hate that part to... How much does it matter when you are good with one language? Well, when you are about to work in teams I guess... About hardware and linux performing better on same hardware: Windows uses more cpu and ram as their windowses gets more and more advanced... However, it's built to handle lots! The worst version of windows .NET will be able to handle 512GB ram and 64 processors (assuming they are 64 bit)... So I'll agree to Parker and/or Blanchard on this point... Next, have you got their story on why to upgrade/downgrade? The only reason I can see is that .NET is more built to be together while PHP, MySQL and Apache is more like picked the three best avaible... It's like a comp where .NET is a complete comp from some company and the OpenSource is more like you order all the parts separately to get the best of everything... Now, find some pretty good C/C++ guys and try to get them working on PHP as a .NET language... I can also mention that a project is coming up that will make your PHP scripts run even faster than ASP.NET technology... Although, wouldn't really be a PHP script anymore....... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Jay Paulson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev i meddelandet news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I know this is a little off topic but I really need some help with this. The company I work for just got bought out by a larger company. The larger company uses .NET from Micro$oft. I of course use all open source stuff for our web sites and now the new company wants to come in and pretty much blow away everything I have done and use their .NET setup. I've basically got a month to do research and get my guns loaded for what I'm sure will be a heated debate about the Open Source Solution vs the Micro$oft .NET solution. So what I am looking for is personal and professional opinions about both solutions (specifically PHP etc), any and all links to good articles about both solutions giving the pros and cons of both technologies. Any other mailing lists I can get on to get more opinions about the two technologies. Are their any links to show the cost benifits of using Open Source vs Micro$oft .NET? (I know Open Source is free but I have no clue where to find how much .NET is). As you can see any and everything would be a great help!!!
