If you are learning this for industry requirements, then just stick to PHP... PHP is what everyone uses.... just take up any employment ad. there'll be 20 vacancies for PHP compared to 2 for ASP.... ASP might be good, but i dont know....

My take: Just stick to PHP if you want to be someone...

php is good
it is like c not likr VB
u can easily rememmber the style
& it is free

asp and php r both good

however php and mysql combo is gaining much appreciation and respect

is some one missing out java, EJB here, sorry i do not know php but java sure servlet and JSP are better than asp

PHP is opensource and used by larger audience, and yes you can use SQL Server with PHP. I suggest PHP.

Wel buddy.......... confused???
C php is too good. As I know it can do more than lot of asp code.
But I find asp a beginners' tool.
N u want 2 use Mysql. PHP and it goes wel.

Pls decide your langusage on the project you are handling. Be future oriented too. As once u get with one of them you won't feel like switching over.

I guess PHP is good and used often but asp is very much used in industry and very easy to learn but there is something JSP (lol) which is on the top but need sound knowledge of JAVA

 

[Linux]

PHP is a much better option than ASP.It's quite easy to learn and moreover it will make u versatile in using the basic Linux commands and so on....Sql Server is compatible with PHP.So get going with PHP.

I would like to add this too

asp needs a windows server to run with maximum effiency ( asp can be run in linux servers too but not that compatible )

the point i like to stress here is that the windows server space costs more than that of the linux one .
So asp is costlier compared to php when implemented
