I have to agree with PhpPete. In the ASP vs PHP realm, PHP wins, with the exception of what you can do/connect to with ADO.
.Net has caught up with and possibly surpassed PHP - I really have not explored far enough myself to make that call - but I tried a datagrid example adapted to my database - wow - a monkey could do that!
But.....most serious code is much more than select * from sometable...
More important than the language is the overall design, and it is hear that I think sometimes, with scripting language, we have created some maintenance problems....

Code: Select all
<?php
if ( $Choice <> "PHP" )
{
Smack_coder_in_the_head
}
else
{
Give_him_a_parse_error
}
?>Is there documentation somewhere on how to write a datagrid in PHP. I searched php.net site and was unable to find anything.jason wrote:There is ADOdb for PHP for the ADO option, and datagrid do exist for PHP.
You have to remember that ASP is a framework. VBScript doesn't have even close to what PHP has as part of its language. When you add frameworks to the mix, PHP still has everything ASP has, and probably more.
Thanks!
