Note Submitter: pyranf@hotmail.com ---- One other thing that should be mentioned about ASP vs. PHP is session support. I find ASPs session management to be much simpler and more intuitive. For example, if I want to get and set a variable, I do this: Session("myVar") = "bob" strBlah = Session("myVar") In addition, Session variables stay around through the entire session (until the user closes the browser), so there is no need for session_start() at the beginning of each page. That being said, I rather like PHP more syntactically and functionally. The C-like syntax is much easier for me to read and write, and the native functions it supports is... extensive to say the least. Still, ASP has better session management.
