[PHP] Article: PHP vs ASP

Might want to file this link, next time somebody asks about PHP vs. ASP

[url]http://www.wowwebdesigns.com/wowbb/forum12/149.html[/url]

And the thing is that you cannot compare ASP to PHP. ASP is a platform,
PHP is a language. This arg has been going on for a couple of years.
ASP (Active Server Pages) can entertain a number of languages (VBScript
being most popular).

I'm wondering if there is an IIS extention for allow PHP in ASP.
Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass.
(I'm not talking about PHP for IIS, either....)

But why go to the extra-effort? Just to save yourself the installation
of PHP on the IIS box?

Yes I agree it would be funny... In my opinion there is no need for the
ASP platform... But then again, who am I for having an educated opinion,
I let a hacker put a shell script on my site!!!! NOW THAT'S FUNNY!

Proving once again that 'funny' is relative and someone will develop a
PHP script to test for the degrees of funny much more quickly than they
could in VBScript (because of the rounding problems).
