I've been using ASP for years but I have to work on a bigger project
involving many users and data so of course, Access is not an option
anymore. Since it's a project requiring thousand of files and several
applications all linked together, I can't create it once and change it
later. Basically, which option is the best between PHP/MySQL and
ASP/MSSQL? It's not a giant project but it might include around 20'000
members interacting daily through forums, blogs, messages etc...
It's not an easy question to answer, Marc.
Win/IIS/ASP/MSSQL might need a bit more hardware to run on compared to
Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (aka LAMP). The license costs for a LAMP setup
will probably be higher. Both will be able to do the job.
What you have to include in your decision is what the company you work
for is used to have. It's not easy and probably expensive too if they
have to support another OS/webserver/scripting languag/database than
they're used to.
Another point of consideration is what you are used to. You mention
years of experience in using ASP. If that means you have to learn
PHP/MySQL from scratch then that will be very expensive also (counting
the extra hours you have to spend to learn all the ins and outs of both
PHP and MySQL).
Kind regards, Jigal.
