<p>Hmm--seems like there are some misconceptions with regards to ASP and VB.</p> <p>There has been mention that you must purchase any additional objects that you need. While it is true that ASP doesn't have some of the capabilities that you may want, many of them are available for free (with source code) from places like planetsourcecode.com. A scripting language shouldn't be everything to everybody.</p> <p>Also, ASP doesn't require a new com object for every instance of the page that you load--it can do that if you want, but that isn't recommended for obvious reasons.</p> <p>One of ASPs strengths is its support for and interaction with COM objects--PHP is limited in this aspect (but its getting better).</p> <p>I am a linux supporter who is stuck programming in a Microsoft world. Linux will continue to be the ugly step child until its developers are able to realisticly analyze other technologies and implement their features--we should take the best from all worlds, not trash them. There is a reason why there are over 3 million VB developers (and it's not because they can't code in anything else!--check out Dan Appleman for starters).</p> -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.languages.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17112 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17112 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17112
