why would i choose PHP over ASP?

asp is from mircosoft
joe90 because ASP runs on windows machines

Drew_: End of line!
php runs on linux machines effortlessly

joe90: PHP's monetarily free where ASP isn't, you need Windows to run ASP, it's no longer supported by Microsoft, I could go on
monetarily=momentarily?
monetarily.
asp.net is supported though right?
ASP.net is a supported language, but it's .net crammed into ASP syntax; it's ugly.
Al: Read `1984` by George Orwell sometime. It's interesting.
i did
PHP is at least a little better looking, has a wide range of APIs and runs well across the board on servers
Al - then you should remember newspeak
joe90 the main reason people use php is because its avalible, the main reason people use asp is because they were schooled with it
