Thanks for your thoughts! / Jeppe John W. Holmes wrote:
My questions for you: 1) Is there a penelty/drawback when coding PHP instead of ASP on IIS (towards MySQL)?
No, not really. I'm sure ASP has some little tricks built in that you'd have to recreate in PHP, but the two are basically the same, regardless of the OS.
2) Do you see any problems in having both ASP-code and PHP-code on the same server (it seems to work fine for me)?
No.
3) (on the edge of topic) Do you have any comments or thoughts concerning the choice of DB. MySQL appears to like Win more than Postgres, or?
MySQL seems to be more cross platform and more popular, but PG has a larger feature set. Depends totally upon the complexity of your project which one you use. ---John Holmes...
