PHP or ASP

Thats right, *nix are more higly used when you want to work on servers and large databse computers , because of there security , but the majority of non-geeky type will still prefer windows since it much easier for them to operate, but for all those geeks out theres , its gotta be *nix

In my geekier days I was *nix at home as well as at work. Then I lost my baby......it crashed and burned in a hail of DDR smoke..... My new machine came loaded with XP and I never changed it. I am so ashamed..... :o

I tried learning php and css but I have always found that html is so much more easiar, less compliated and simple. Unless I'm a little slow,lol.

[mtajim]

Thats right HTML is much more easier to learn but i think if you concentrate a bit then even CSS and PHP wont be that hard

[randle]

Really so are you limited when it comes to just using Html?

[mtajim]

Yes HTML doesnot give that much freedom for the designing of your site , you need to learn CSS to have a better site

As most have said, I use PHP because it's free and can be used on a linux server.

Beside that, most free scripts are in PHP, so if you don't want to do 100% of your programming, PHP is the best.

To run ASP programs one needs IIS installed on a Windows platform server, which is not free. PHP programs run on Linux, which is free. Even the connectivity of the database is expensive in the case of ASP as MS-SQL is a product of Microsoft that needs to be purchased. PHP generally uses MySQL, which is freely available.

I use PHP for website development. The older version of PHP are less secure. While move on to PHP 5.2.5 we can develop big projects with better security. As bhar123 told in PHP we can easily connect with databases.

I use PHP since it's free, simple and I don't want a Windows server. Linux is much safer for server purposes.
