PHP vs ASP
I am having a web site designed for me... I know nothing about designing web sites. I want a second oppinion. The guy that is doing my site said he is using PHP. Is PHP similar to ASP in that the site can not be stolen from the web? I read that ASP is very secure and impossible to steal someones site because it was actually a program that runs on the web server and only displays the end result. Does PHP work this way or should I tell him to use ASP? I am paying a lot of money to have my site built and want to know that it will be secure. I hope that thte questions I am asking make sense. Thanks for your help
Yes, PHP as ASP is a server-side scripting language. Therefore it is read and interpreted by the server, and in turn the server generates html output.
What else do you need to know?? One of the biggest things is the fact that you can run PHP on M$ IIS server or Apache. But in order to use ASP/VBScript you need IIS or a costly plugin from Sun to enable Apache to parse ASP Pages.
By my own hand I have coded ASP/VBscript for almost 2 years and PHP for about 6 months. And PHP is definitly faster. The syntax was hard at first but, only because I was used to coding in ASP. These forums are the best location for good information.
Write any other questions you have and someone will answer them.
