Help choosing PHP or .Net

Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of revamping my current web-based software for hospital information. I'm not a programmer and had a previous developer create my old version that is not around anymore. He wrote it in .Net

I'm looking to rewrite the entire program and have been looking into using PHP. I was wondering what everyone thought about using PHP for a web-based hospital software. I have been doing some research and seen lots of articles on both sides.

Currently the program uses Crystal Reports and our software accesses the hospitals servers remotely. Can PHP integrate with Crystal Reports? The hospitals that currently support our software are Microsoft servers. PHP can now run on a Microsoft server right?

All suggestions are appreciated, I am open to all viewpoints on PHP vs. .Net.

Thanks!

re: Help choosing PHP or .Net


at least it seems that you might use PHP's COM functions to be able to use crystal reports with PHP ... have a look here ...

and of course - PHP could run on MS servers.

kind regards
