I don't know PHP as well as ASP, but here are some advantages:

ASP works with Windows servers, and is the default server-side programming language.
ASP works with Access and MS-SQL.
ASP is easy to write custom subs/functions/classes.
ASP is easy to understand.
There are guru-types on this board that can help you with ASP.

Those are general ones. More specific examples would come about depending on your application(s).

None. Asp and php are equally capable.

Which one to use for a project comes down to which you're more comfortable with. If you aren't familiar with either, then consider whether you might want to do any future development. If you still haven't decided, it's a matter of whether you're hosing your site on Apache or IIS.

A good programmer will write elegant code in any language. A bad programmer will write buggy applications that crash a lot in any language.

Most of us are pretty good with the framework of our choice, and have only done a bit of work in the other ... so can't give you a fair comparison.

Being pretty ignorant in both languages I'd have to say they are identical.

asp has 3 letters
php has 3 letters...

yup - identical

Hmmm, after looking at Vanspong's analysis, asp has a vowel, and php doesn't. Vanna White used to make people buy vowels, so asp must be more expensive.

If I remember correctly, vowels were 50 bucks a pop. That settles it: ASP is worth $50 more than PHP.

Nope, $250 a pop. Consonants are worth whatever the wheel ends up at.

I prefer php as compared to asp. php can run on a free software: linux + apache + mysql + php.

The software asp runs on - IIS - actually doesn't have a price tag itself. It only comes with certain versions of Windows; with XP Pro you can host a single web application, while Server gives you unlimited access to your hardware and bandwidth.

But IIS itself is free, and if you do enough work you can make asp run on linux with project mono. You can also use asp against MySql if you prefer that to SQL Server. Neither tends to run very often on free hardware.

The cost of the software license is going to be pretty minor compared to the cost of having a developer create something.

PHP is a scripting language.

ASP is a system that supports 2 scripting languages.
