Why PHP sucks
Moderator: General Moderators
A lot of the people that I've come across running this squawk have been living of steady diets of Windows IDE's that do an awful lot of hand holding and reduce programming to something akin to snapping lego blocks together. They just want it all easy.Pyrite wrote:I have a friend who started talking about why PHP sucked and why ASP was better one day. He's actually a php programer himself, but his arguments were ones that I didn't care about anyways. Like php can't handle file uploads bigger than 500 megs or something, nothing I would ever care about.
PHP kicks arse becuase it has a lot more flexibility than those dead - end Windows languages and it's the perfect cure for vendor lock in. ASP doesn't run on Linux, Mac, or Unix (Solaris included, SCO excpeted). ANY solution that could be built on top of Windows could also be built with Linux for a fraction of the cost.
And besides, why would someone want to upload 500 meg files? This isn't the kind of thing you want to do over HTTP through a web server anyway. Use FTP or secure copy (SSH).
Sorry to say it mate, but your pal is a dork!
