10 Reasons Why PHP is Better than ASP

[Ali Bobo]

1. PHP.NET the greatest API resource known to MAN
2. If you have a problem, someone will have already implemented a
solution in PHP for you
3. Syntax is better, closer to C, C++, and Java. Unlike VB where
anything goes.
4. To run ASP you need IIS on windows, which is not free, for PHP
however you need Linux and Apache which are FREE!!
5. Great built in support for ftp, email, graphics package GD2 and
also MySQL (also FREE).
6. PHP will run on Unix, Linux, Solaris and Windows. ASP is mainly
only Windows associated but you can use it on linux with additional
modules installed.
7. PHP code is much faster, ASP is developed on the COM based
architecture, this is an overhead for the server.
8. mod_rewrite, need I say more.
9. Advanced Perl-compatible regular expression functions and loads
of built in support for regular expressions on the whole.
10. Greater control over error handling, and more detailed error
messages.

Although PHP is one of my favourite programming languages, I do think that
some of these reasons are not so good, so feel I should "correct" some of
them, or at least further elaborate.

Regarding point #2, yes, that's often the case, but half the time their
solution is junk and needs extensive rewrites to remove obvious security
flaws. The reason there's so many free PHP scripts out there is because
there's millions of PHP scripters out there. It may come as a shock to
some of you, but not all of them are geniuses.

3. Syntax is better, closer to C, C++, and Java. Unlike VB where
anything goes.

PHP's syntax is better because it's closer to C? If anything, similarity
to C's syntax should be classed as a disadvantage. C is a step up above
assembly, but that's all that can be said in its favour.

Of the C-like languages, C#, Java and Javascript are far more elegant in
syntax than PHP. But if you want to see a language with a truly nice
syntax, check out AppleScript.

Besides which, ASP.NET (the latest incarnation of ASP) is a container
format which supports the use of various different languages within it.
Sure, VB is common, but so is Javascript. Perl within ASP is not unheard
of. It's even possible to script PHP within ASP.

4. To run ASP you need IIS on windows, which is not free, for PHP
however you need Linux and Apache which are FREE!!

You do not need either Linux or Apache for PHP. There are various other
operating systems and web servers that will run it. I happen to do a lot
of my testing on Apache for Max OS X. PHP will even run on IIS on Windows.

Whatsmore, there are various alternative implementations of ASP, some of
which are free. However, much like with C#, a lot of people rely on
specific quirks and extensions of Microsoft's implementation, so the
result will not run on the alternative implementations.

5. Great built in support for ftp, email, graphics package GD2 and
also MySQL (also FREE).

MySQL is a pretty crummy database though.

6. PHP will run on Unix, Linux, Solaris and Windows. ASP is mainly
only Windows associated but you can use it on linux with additional
modules installed.

Contradicting point #4 yourself now.

7. PHP code is much faster, ASP is developed on the COM based
architecture, this is an overhead for the server.

COM-based ASP is pretty old. ASP.NET pages can be pre-compiled, allowing
very fast execution.

PHP scripts can be cached in a compiled form if you use eAccelerator or
similar, but this functionality will not be included in PHP by default
until 6.0 is released.

8. mod_rewrite, need I say more.

mod_rewrite is written in C, not PHP.

9. Advanced Perl-compatible regular expression functions and loads
of built in support for regular expressions on the whole.

VBScript as of version 5 (which is quite old now) supports regular
expressions, but they're pretty limited compared to Perl's regexs.
However, as I said earlier, ASP is not just limited to VBScript. Perl will
happily run within ASP, and Perl's regexs are certainly Perl-compatible!

I VASTLY prefer C, C++, java, e to VB or any of its variants. Of

operating systems and web servers that will run it.

Exactly, that's what OP really mant to say. ASP is proprietary, it
runs only on Windows/IIS. PHP runs anywhere.

Not so.

Grasshopper enables you to produce .NET Web and server applications that
run on Linux & other Java-enabled platforms using ASP.NET 2.0 controls,
role-based security, and C# generics.

In PHP? Yes, kinda, if you install the right modules. But only if by "one
language" you mean "PHP" and "another" you mean "Perl or Python".

An example of using Perl within PHP:

<?php
// Use embedded Perl
$perl = new Perl();
// Import function "md5_hex" from package "Digest::MD5"
$perl->eval('use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);');
// Now we can call the function as a normal PHP object method.
echo $perl->md5_hex('Hello');
// prints "8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7".
?>

It's slightly clunky in terms of syntax, but it's pretty cool and
occasionally useful if you want to be able to reuse a large piece of
already written Perl script in PHP. Perl functions can be made accessible
to PHP, and variables, arrays, hashes and objects passed back and forth
between the languages.

<shudder>teh thought of having PERL anywhere on my machine</shudder>

why?

I had an employee, who was the only one I had to actually fire..set him
a project, did it in perl, ran slower than almost anything else, and
after 6 months still didn't work. Found out he had being writing a
collaborative science fiction book online most of the time.

Another guy picked it up, had it done in bash in 10 days, at about 1/4
the length, and ten times the comprehensibility, tho still a wee bit slow.

So we looked at the worst bits and did them in C.

I suppose that it was that instance that cemented in my mind the firm
conviction that anyone who thinks PERL is great, is probably a total
wanker, and that includes the guy who wrote it. ;-)

Sadly it does exist on my system because some bloody class library
installation script was written in it.

Now back to the matter in hand, why is it that on the internet people
find it more acceptable to swear, call people names and (god forbid)
threaten others? I've never understood that.

For me a much more damning response to a post you do not agree with is
one which refutes each and every point you intend to without resorting
to insults. You just debase your very own argument and make it much less
likely that you get your point across.

My 2 cents.

good. now if you could just muster a smile...i was playing with you!

Now back to the matter in hand, why is it that on the internet people find

others? I've never understood that.

i'm not 'swearing'. i'm using words that could be immediately considered
offensive. grow up. the intent behind words are more offensive than those
used in declaring them. 'bad' words are simply words. i have a large
vocabulary and refuse to limit my use of any because of some religous or
social moray.

and, i don't threaten anyone...whether on the net, or in person. if i mean
someone harm, i simply inflict it. it is counter-productive to announce my
intentions to the object of my attentions.

For me a much more damning response to a post you do not agree with is one
which refutes each and every point you intend to without resorting to
insults. You just debase your very own argument and make it much less
likely that you get your point across.

yes, that's worth about 0.02. none of that applies on usenet. very few argue
this way. if you notice, i do argue point/counter-point/refutation. note
also that whatever language i use, the facts i present stand on their own.
as for 'debase'...that seems a bit wordy for you. :)

It is not. ASP is an object-oriented framework within which theoretically
any object-oriented programming language can run, though in practise
VBScript and JScript are normally used.

Similarly the HTML DOM is an object-oriented framework within which any
object-oriented programming language can run. Usually Javascript is used,
but depending on your environment, other languages can be used too.

that's all well and good, however you're still not supporting your claim by

seems to me, they're both capable of acheiving that (whatever it is you're
trying to generically claim).
