.NET is a framework, not a language.  Many other languages qualify as
.NET languages besides just C# and VB.net.  So if you don't like the
Microsoft ones you can try others:

Okay, but it defenitly says this:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hull_asp.html>
The latest incarnation of ASP, ASP.NET, is not completely backward-compatible 
with previous versions of ASP, as it is a complete rewrite of the software. 
Previous ASP technology actually has a lot more in common with PHP than with 
ASP.NET, which is a complete framework for building Web applications. One of 
the principal features of this model is the flexibility to choose your 
programming language. ASP.NET works with scripted languages such as VBScript, 
JScript, Perlscript, and Python, as well as compiled languages such as VB, 
C#, C, Cobol, Smalltalk, and Lisp. The new framework uses the common language 
runtime (CLR); your language source is compiled into Microsoft Intermediate 
Language code, which the CLR then executes.


This text says, that ASP .NET is a complete framework for building web 
applications.  All the other stuff maybe is some marketing strategy for 
selling Oracle software but i don't take care about that.

BTW, i think there is some more usefull information in this article (Anyway, i 
will not buy Oracle software).

Sorry for starting this flamewar. This was not my goal... ;-)

Okay, please read my post again!

I would not compare PHP with ASP .NET. This is what i wrote. I found that link 
to Oracle within 5 seconds via Google and did not read the whole text but 
Reynier Perez Mira could understand the difference with it.

My meaning about this:

ASP .NET is not just a scripting language but more a plattform for Enterprise 
(web) applications.  It really has many more features then PHP and i would 
compare ASP .NET more with JAVA/J2EE.  I don't know much about ASP .NET since 
i am more familiar with PHP and maybe some little bit JAVA.  I think it is 
better to compare with a scripting language like Python or Ruby.  You could 
compare the old versions of ASP with PHP because this was nearly the same.  I 
never have coded with ASP since i very rarely touch a windows box but it 
looked like VisualBasic code.

Rather than get into an open ended discussion/argument, perhaps it would 
be best to ask the community why ASP.NET is better? Perhaps for the 
usage they envision is _is_ better, perhaps not.

I have found over the past 32 years that passionate 
discussions/arguments over what language is "better" than another to be 
less than constructive anyway. Better to just do your work and let it 
speak for itself.

The ONLY thing I can think of that ASP misses that can be done easily in
PHP, is dynamic includes, ie:

$code = _GET['code'];
include($code.'.php');


the asp inlude equivelent is


and thats handled by the SSI engine before it gets passed over to the ASP
engine. So no dynamic includes for ASP.

Ofcourse there are other features that PHP has that ASP does not, and vice
versa. Right tool for the job, right tool for the job.

There is one minor difference that caused a major change in structure of the
two scripting language.

PHP offers the isset() function but ASP don't. in a way there are the pros
and cons.

For PHP, you can create the whole site in one page, even though that would
not be advisable. Because of isset(), you can get input and display output
using the same page. However, this would result in security loop holes.

Whereas for ASP, without the isset() keyword, ASP structures are usually
made up of at least 2 pages. One for receiving input and the other for
display the result, output. This of cos patches the security holes.

In a way, PHP provides a simpler way for programmer. Also, one can chose not
to use isset() !!

But ASP only supported on win platforms... =(

Re: [PHP] php vs asp

[Mike Frazer]

If ASP is as slow with MySQL as it is with native Microsoft DBs (Access, SQL
Server), then you may be in trouble.  I did some work for a friend who owns
a hosting company on a site done in ASP and the worst part of the whole
thing was testing because the database was so slow.  He's got some high-end
servers, too, so it wasn't the system slowing it down.  I have my personal
site with him and it seems to load stuff from MySQL about 2-5 times as fast
as the ASP-based sites load from SQL Server.

My two cents.

Still, you're not really going to get an unbiased opinion from this list. 
What you'll hear is probably something that reinforces your already biased 
point of view :)

For me, the drawback of using asp (and anything MS stuff) is the cost.

Still, you're not really going to get an unbiased opinion from this list. 
What you'll hear is probably something that reinforces your already biased 
point of view :)

For me, the drawback of using asp (and anything MS stuff) is the cost.

Hmm I have to say it would depend on the quality of the ODBC driver you
would be using.

For instance: would you be able to get the insert id with ASP as easily as
PHP?

Look at all the MySQL functions in PHP and ask your friend hwo they would
accomplish this in ASP.

I would be interested to hear what your friend has to say to this, I would
appreciate if you would drop me his/her reaction..

Regards

Jon

Hehe, well truth is I'm not sure either but I expect that performance
wise it would be very similar. It's when you start talking about
documentation and envoirnment as Micheal said that you'll notice the
difference.

erm are you looking for an unbiased opinion on a /php/ mailing list?
If you're serious you might want to post your question on the MySQL list
or something similar.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs. ASP

[Shane Wright]

Hi

Something I dont think anyone's mentioned yet is that PHP is also great for 
running stuff from the command line - e.g. for background scripts for a site 
or mailing scripts or whatever...

In case that doesnt sound so useful, it measn you can use all the same 
libraries for the online site as for the offline processing bits :)
