PHP verus ASP

Walalayo · 09-20-2011, 03:32:36

Hi I'm paying to have a website built and the firm that I am using has offered me a choice between php/MySQL and ASP/SQLserver. Now they want extra money and a extra week to code the project in ASP/SQLserver but they suggest that this will have a dramatic improvement speed over php, since they can use stored procedures and so on..

The thing is I don't know much about his, the website should have quite a heavy amount of traffic so I am slightly worried, by they do seem to try and get money out of me for every little thing, so I wanted to get some one who knows about it's advice. Would Php be a lot slower, I've always been a fan of Linux rather than Microsoft.

Any advice greatly recieved

PHP is more easy to learn than ASP and PHP is an open source scripting Language.

PHP is best than asp because php is open source, easy to learn, server side scripting language, platform independent, and free ware.

PHP is very much flexible when it terms of database connectivity. Moveover it has more advantages in terms of cost.It can connect to several databases of which the most commonly used is the MySQL-no cost.If you go for ASP,you need to purchase MS-SQL, which is a Microsoft product. So always PHP is best.

ASP and PHP are both programming languages that are commonly used to create websites. Unlike the usual static html web pages, ASP and PHP websites are more dynamic and can allow users to interact and exchange information using the website's databases.

PHP stands for Pre Hypertext Processor whereas ASP stands for Active Server Pages. PHP executes on various platform like Linux, UNIX and windows whereas ASP runs inside Internet Information Services (IIS).

1.Php is an Open Source Technology which can be used for free where as ASP.net is a Microsoft technology which is very Expensive.
2.Php work with any kind of Platform and Asp.net can be used only with Internet Information Server.
3.Php execution is faster because php uses inbuilt memory uses where as ASP.net uses Server space during Execution.
