PHP versus ASP

April 21st, 2005

Here is a link dump of some PHP versus ASP discussions that I have run across lately:

  • ASP v PHP discussion at Webmaster World.
  • A report from someone who switched from ASP to PHP.
  • PHP versus ASP.NET via Oracle.
  • A rebuttal from the ASP point of view.

And just so java doesn’t feel left out:

Can Java CMS match the PHP ones?

    hmm the oracle article is quite crappy and so is the asp.net rebuttal.

    I have to agree with the ASP rebuttal that comparing PHP to ASP.NET is really comparing two quite different technologies. The idea that both PHP5 and ASP.NET are “strong” in OOP is ridiculous; PHP5 doesn’t isn’t even remotely comparable to ASP.NET in terms of OOP. PHP is a hack langauge that’s good for hacking up websites. Some of us have spent a long time building OOP tools to try to refute that, but the more you spend looking for a coherent “big picture” in PHP, the more you find that there increasingly isn’t one. Of course, I’m still coding primarily in PHP ;)

    Wandering slightly off topic…

    ASPA: http://storm.cs.unipi.gr/~anakreon/aspa.html : “An ASP to PHP Translator”

    I know we’ve seen this kind of thing before (http://asp2php.naken.cc/) but this one looks pretty good. That’s ASP as in 3.0 (where the language is JScript or VBScript). It’s built on ANTLR, a Java parser generator (http://www.antlr.org/).

    Interesting is a talk they have online here http://www.antlr.org/workshop/ANTLR2004/proceedings/XMLAsASTTemplates.pdf

    “The usage of XML in the translation process of ASPA, provides greater
    flexibility, because the support of another ActiveX component is only a matter of adding an other XML AST template for the component. The user does not need to learn Java or Antlr in order to add functionality to the project.”

So if your serious about producing hassle-free money this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

    I feel great on getting insurance quotes by email from my house is because I don’t have to go to different locations to find the best deals in the insurance industry market.

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

    When its payback time and you have them on the run and you still don’t curse… what’s wrong with you? The real problem is that you can see it in the actors’ eyes, they know the scenes that compelled some cursing and the director knows it, but they can’t have it, so the scenes fall flat and unrealistic.

    It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma is most dangerous cancer. It’s got unusual attributes. The more I actually look at it the harder I am convinced it does not work like a real solid tissue cancer. If mesothelioma can be a rogue viral infection, so there is the chance for developing a vaccine plus offering vaccination for asbestos subjected people who are vulnerable to high risk regarding developing potential asbestos linked malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas for this important health issue.
