Remember, ASP is not a language, and PHP is. You're not programming "ASP" - you are most likely programming VBScript and your server environment gives that language access to server-specific functions such as an application object.

Where were you yesterday when I needed this kind of explanation! :) To explain the nature of my site and why I chose the route that I did, I used a brief explanation of how the client-server-PHP system works. But, with no experience with any other scripting language, I didn't have much to justify why I chose PHP (the real reason is a matter of ethics ;). I would love to have had your explanation of ASP's application object vs PHP's lack of an "application object" when I wrote that. I'm saving this post.
