well that helped tons .. what do you like best/hate about php? does it ever have many glitches?
i've heard that php code is "buggier" than asp. how has it worked for you?
details man details ..
do you mean that using php/asp to write the script for the search function in a database?
i am new with it.hopefully, someone can explain this to me

Php is very flexible it what it can be used for, yes it is used for forums, but also for dynamic content pages, and e commerce sites, and tons of other applications. One advantage of scripting in PHP is that it's open source so more host's are likely (myself included) to include it along with mysql with their hosting packages at a lower price.
i have been reading up on php, doesn't seem too hard to pick up coding wise. i was just wondering if anyone has used it for db purposes, and what, if any, issues came from it as compared to using asp.
i have my asp db mostly written and all my scripts finished, but a friend of mine said if i could do it in asp, it would be easy for me to pick up php and even easier from there to build a db. apparently its faster to write one in php?
how can we write a db using asp or php?
can someone show me the link of that or any tutorials?
may someone explain it to me?
how can we write db using that?i thought it is created using the client software like Oracle, DB2 etc.
thank you

I like ASP.NET for db stuff. I've used php and asp.net and I find ASP.NET much more powerful and flexible. Granted, it's not supported on as many servers. But that would be my choice, there is some great features that can only be accessed (well with such ease) from ASP.NET.
Yes ASP.net is very good. Technologically too it is better that PHP and also has the advantage of being a part of the .net framework. This allows you unlimited possibilities to inculcate VB.net, C#, C++, JScript etc codes in your pages. ASP/net is also faster too and has very advanced features.
Here is an excert from a news item
Quote:
Well, Microsoft benchmarked ASP and ASP.NET using the msn home page. The results were pretty astonishing. With classic ASP using 4 processors, MSN.com maxed out at 160 requests per second. With ASP.NET, the page maxed out at 425 requests per second using 4 processors and about 160 requests per second using 1 processor.
I could go on and on. There are many other features (such as automatic browser detection and server-generated hidden form fields to maintain values) in ASP.NET that should make developing easier and faster. But, if you are a programmer at heart and want to do things the "hard way," there is enough flexibility to code 'til your fingers bleed!
Is there much difference in the coding from asp to asp.net? There seems to be only a few subtle differences as far as I can see so far, I have been reading the tutorials found at asp.net. Thanks for the input.
