Asp.net Vs. Php

[Hooper]

Eric, I'm not going to piss with you. I have to take my wife out to dinner.

Buuutttttttttt....

saying that asp .net and php do the same thing is kinda likes saying that my monitor and my television do the same thing.

asp is NOT .net, ASP is a scripting language and can be run independent of the .net platform, in fact, ASP can be run on unix platforms as well!

PHP is not apache, php is not sun, php is not perl, php is a scripting language that tends to be run on unix/linux distros with apache. php however CAN be run on the .net windows platform just as easily as it can be run on the *nix platform.

What i was trying to do was educate you because you are showing your ignorance by simply quoting something you've read. You are comparing the wrong two items. You cant compare asp running under a .net framework to php because you arent specifying WHAT framework php is running under. Is it php on a windows machine with a .net framework? Is it php running on a unix machine with apache? Is it asp on a unix machine?

And yes, the end result may be the same, but that doesnt mean that you can compare notepad to asp running on .net just because both can be used to make web pages.

I'm going to start a thread called "eric's television with superbowl versus my boat" and let you argue about whether the tv is better than the boat or vice versa.

Argh. I have to go. This is the kind of stupidity that leads people to the Microsoft platform in the beginning. Simple lack of understanding.
