Active Server Pages (ASP) s Microsoft’s scripting technology for displaying dynamic web pages, ASP programmes mostly use VBScript, JScript.PHP is the open source alternative to ASP that runs on multiple operating systems, incuding Linux, Windows solaris and other OS.
Comparing their speeds PHP is relatively much more faster and stable than ASP.PHP installtions are definetly cheaper to install, PHP runs great on Linux which is free, on the other hand ASP runs on the IIS Server (Internet Information Server) which need’s Windows N.T/2000/2003 Servers.

I would go with PHP simply because PHP is cheaper to implement that ASP, PHP gives additional capability than if you were to code with ASP and most important, PHP is Open Source. Apart from that ASP mostly uses MS-SQL Server as the back end which is expensive, whereas PHP programmes mostly use MySQL which is free.

I think PHP is much better than ASP bcoz PHP is open source and has inbuilt features, can run on various platforms like Linux, Unix, Windows and Solaris, high speed and it can connect to various databases.

PHP and ASP both are server side programing language used to create dynamic web content but PHP is better than ASP because it is an open source and can be embedded into HTML pages. It is often used with MySQL and it can be used on multiple platforms and it can connect to various databases.
