(Microsoft..... ahem!!!) But PHP is open source and it's completely free, infact the whole LAMP concept is open source!(in windows, except for windows other are free)So all in all PHP is a very good scripting language and has the edge over ASP!!BUT!!! then came ASP.NET which is a totally different story, with .NET your development time is much faster than PHP but still PHP has got some strong points!!!</blockquote>
