QUESTION:
What are the Advantages of MySQL and PHP over ASPs ?

ANSWER:
Here are some of the reasons to switch:


1). UNIX is more reliable. Here are some articles backing this up.

4). PHP 3.0 is designed to be fast and was written to do database work.

PHP 3.0 is a server side HTML embeded scripting language, meaning that PHP

is embeded in the HTML files and the server does the work of translating

the PHP 3.0. This means that it is totally platform and browser

independent (it is possible to make things platform and browser independent

with Microsoft ASP (Active Server Pages) having the server do all the

compiling but if someone brings this up, revert back to the UNIX

reliability and Database speed, ASP is not quicker than PHP 3.0 but I don't

have any bench marks on this). Let people know it is reliable and fast.

They can look here for information on PHP 3.0 here: http://www.php.net
