php is not microsoft, and it is free. Need I say more?

Hmm, I guess I should. I have never used asp but have used PHP extensivly. I find it works very well and is very easy to work with. It intergrates well with databases such as mySql which makes it prefect for managing information over the web such as in a shopping cart or forum (such as antionline, look up and see the .php extention) I would say give php a try, if it dosn't float your boat go back to ASP, that is the beauty of the web. You will never be without another option when it comes to doing something. You could be old fashioned and just write your server side scripts in C. Have Fun.
