PHP sites have a *much* lower cost of ownership for starters, not to mention being a more versatile language. It also has a hell of a lot of built-in functionality that you might have to write/buy as components if you were using ASP.
If you're a competent ASP coder download and installed PHP (it runs on IIS) and mySQL and have a go, it's a great language. Free too :) .b p.s. of course, PHP vs. ASP.NET is something else entirely. > -----Original Message----- > From: Siobhan Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 09 December 2002 16:27 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [wdvltalk] ASP or PHP > > > Why would anyone opt to switch from an asp site to a php one?
