PHP vs. ASP.NET

Here's some quick information from an unbiased, informative article that discusses the differences between PHP and ASP.NET.

According to the article, PHP 5 absolutely destroys ASP.NET. It seems that PHP (a dynamically typed, interpreted language) not only runs faster than ASP.NET (strongly typed, compiled language), but it's actually more efficient with it's less robust state management utilities. And it's free! Who'da thunk?

Yeah, that article was total bollocks. The guy that wrote it has no idea what he's writing about.

# re: PHP vs. ASP.NET

Amazing what happens when ASP.NET is talked about as a platform technology. But hey its the OTN, unbiased.. ;-)

Lets throw in Mono and see how it comes up

Platform price, free
Platform, strong
Platform, any
Source available, yes

That leaves us with speed and effiency. I think the point that is trying to be made here is that PHP can sometimes out perform ASP.NET for certain things. I am sure it can, but a true test is a bench mark test of equal footing. Only with that can a claim be made that PHP is faster than ASP.NET or vice versa.

Did anyone else notice that the 2 exmaples of connecting to an Oracle database do 2 different things ?

The PHP one only opens a connection and displays an Error.

The VB (easier to read one) connects to the Database, runs a query and writes the results and closes the Connection.

From the article: "With ASP, however, you're investing from the very beginning, and you're spending for add-on technologies—libraries for doing graphics manipulations, for instance."

WTF?!?

Looks like he is talking about ASP.NET, since classic ASP is not being talked about. So what on earth is this guy on? Magic mushrooms? Space cake? Has he actually looked at the .NET class library and checked out the System.Drawing namespace?

Another pathetic attempt to bash anything Microsoft.

"He focuses on integrating OPEN SOURCE technologies with commercial technologies such as Oracle"

and hosted by Oracle!

well... no way the article can be unbiased

How about an IDE for PHP? VS.net is a killer app for anything .Net.

Wow, the power of slashdot. If that page hadn't been posted with a flamebait headline on /. I doubt anyone would even know about it.

# re: PHP vs. ASP.NET

The fact that you have to pay is biaised to, because there is an open source equivalent to Visual Studio. I did a whole .NET application and it didn't cost us a penny. I also used the free MSDE solution for developpers. After that...it was just a matter of putting up to the corporate server ont he real database and IIS server.

ASP.NET is really not that expensive.

# re: PHP vs. ASP.NET

There is also an open source equivalent to Visual Studio so developping ASP.NET applications is even cheaper than he says.

Alos, he does not talk about how much easier in ASP.NET it is to manage code because of the true OO model. He doesn't talk about all the thinmgs ASP.NET can do that PHP can't like custom HTTP event handlers for files etc.

# re: PHP vs. ASP.NET

Visual Studio Express is a free download until next fall, and the license has no restrictions.  VSE is not a bare-bones trial version of VS, it is quite powerful.  If the main argument in favor of PHP was "cost = $0", then that argument is nullified, eh?

# re: PHP vs. ASP.NET

Really funny! The guy shows a table but doesn't show where is the table coming from! Look at most of PHP websites, most of them crash very easily, Even the Zend website, It crashes so often and you see the php error page, but if you have used ASP.NET 2.0 you know that it got a wonderfull speed! Trust me. And something more, in a shared hosting system, can you manipulate php source codes and use your own php? Do not make me laugh! And is Oracle free? How much is a WINDOWS hosting more expensive than LINUX? Not that much for a shared hosting! And something more, why so many people are defending php and not so many people defent asp.net? I guess because most of asp.net users are enterprise developers and do not have enough time, trust me dudes!
