[snip] I have someone here at my desk arguing that Microsoft's .NET is better than PHP - faster to process, easier and quicker to program, etc. They also (claim) that Microsoft's SQL is much faster and such vs. MySQL. Any comments to help me defend PHP or to educate me? [/snip] Both 'arguments' are so general as to be laughable. Come up with some specific issues and we can go toe-to-toe. NET v PHP 1. Platform dependency? (Run on M$ platforms v. running on a variety of platforms, including M$) MySQL v MSSQL 1. MSSQL is bloated. Speed is an issue. Footprint is an issue. 2. Platform dependency? Have fun!
