They are both very good and useful languages. Big market for ASP.NET programmers and a big market for PHP programmers. Best to know both.

Since more and more servers are linux based, and linux based servers are cheaper, I would go with PHP. Although neonjuice is right, php seems to be a bit more popular.

Try Googling "ASP .NET vs PHP", should give you a lot of topics regarding this issue.

PHP is in high demand in web development. I dont work with ASP.NET but is ASP not a Windows server only scripting language?.

As far as I know ASP and ASP.NET are both Windows only, PHP works on both.

You're actually going to have an easier time learning PHP. It's a more straightforward language like Java or C, whereas ASP.NET can get a little confusing (you have 2 different files for each page you make, separating source from content). And again, PHP can run on any Operating System, whereas ASP.NET Requires a Windows Server with a Windows OS.

Personally i prefer PHP, it's multiplatform and OS, the .Net platform being Windows only is a big turnoff for me. PHP is easy to learn but that depends on what you know already.

Cheers,

PHP definitely gets my vote! As others have already mentioned, ASP only works on Windows server whereas PHP is any-server friendly. Anyway, I haven't had good experience with Windows servers...

Right, you can run a WAMP server (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) anyways if you want to use PHP with Windows.

I'm a PHP guy...every time I check out ASP, I just don't like it. PHP has awesome docs and tons of content out there for you to go off of (chances are good you're doing something that has been done before and probably posted somewhere). It's beginner friendly.

I definately agree with Redcore here. PHP's documentation is the most comprehensive i've ever seen and the support you will find on PHP is the vastest around. ASP.Net is an ugly windows-only lanugage, i did not like attempting to use it.
