Re: ASP x PHP

Having developed a big site in ASP and then migrated it to PHP I can tell you a good reason... PHP can run in something different than Windows. Windows sucks at stability... we could not find a way to make our servers run smoothly... all the help we could got from Microsoft involved disabling ASP features that would render it useless (like, disabling sessions). Our "final" solution took advantage of the fact that we were using transparent load balancing across 5 servers... we simply reset each server every 30 minutes. ASP is a "nice" language... PHP is a "great" languange... the list is too long to cover (regexps, imap, pdf, images, classes, the dev team, its open source nature). Regards, Sebastian PS: By "big site" I mean more than 50.000 lines of PHP code serving more than 2.5 million pageviews daily.
