RE: [PHP] PHP Vs ASP

Depends on how well you know to look Chris. Even today, ASP is perhaps the BEST documented among the scripting languages. My code ALWAYS works when I follow the instructions. Check out http://www.4guysfromrolla.com. Having said that, I guess I believe in using BOTH asp and php, they have their own advantages. When you are talking about sophisticated enterprise-level apps, sometimes components are the MOST sensible way to go if you care about code-maintainability and reuse. I dislike Java because of the rigmarole attached with coding/debugging etc and PHP doesnt support any component based development yet, of course we have functions, but well..

Most of the sample code would fail with very basic syntax errors if you copied and pasted it into a quick test.asp. The Microsoft docs, like most of their programming docs, gave the impression that the tech writers had not been in communication with the developers much and had not done anything other than trivial work with the product. When I first started with PHP, the first thing that impressed me was the much higher quality and easier to use manual. include('disclaimer.php'); assert($YMMV == true); Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
