Re: Re: PHP vs ASP.NET

ASP (Classic) and ASP.NET = two different things. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Server_Pages Personally, I don't see a reason for putting anyone, or any company through the torture of building web apps with .NET. ...VBSCRIPT for the web just doesn't make sense to me with the other solutions that are available... but I suppose decisions are made for many reasons that can force, perhaps less than optimal methods. I come to this thread with the perspective of having a vested interest in a server-side scripting language and my opinion is that I hope there is never only one resounding solution... even if that solution was my preferred language. I appreciate the different ideas and different tools out there. They all offer perspectives and they all have strengths and weaknesses and that is good to have at our fingertips when we are deciding what route is best to take for a solution. About usage numbers, I don't know of a great way to determine those... most languages can parse multiple suffixes.. for example, I almost exclusively prefer to use .html files to parse my dynamic solutions. Also, I am guessing that the free solutions.. such as PHP, are more likely to be installed but not used.. unlike the paid solutions. But, in the end, I don't think it is about usage numbers. Like I said, I think people should use the solution that best fits their project/s needs. Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o D.
