Dear All,

Wanting to develop a new site and need your advice.
I have two sites using ASP but have heard so much about PHP. Up to now, I still don;t really know the benefits and disadvantages of both these languages.

Can you please help highlight the advantages and disadvantages of both PHP and ASP?

Thanks

Both languages have pros and cons, but the biggest advantage for php is that you can run php on both IIS and apache with no problem. I know there are solutions to let you run some ASP code on other web servers, but it has a lot more problems than php does.

Otherwise, I'd choose whichever language you/your developers are most familiar with, unless you have the spare time to learn a new language.
