Answer 1

Both are server-side and don't influence website design.



I'm from brazil, so I don't know which have more job opportunities there, but PHP is most commonly used because linux is the best O.S. for web services today, and PHP + Apache + MySQL + linux = Perfect :-P



ASP.Net runs under windows, and windows server is not trustful.

Answer 2

Hello,



Really, the main decision comes down to the core processes of PHP and ASP .NET PHP is a relatively simpler language to use than ASP.net. Many developers find themselves to be more at ease with the user-friendly nature of PHP when it comes to coding. However, critics also count this advantage of PHP as a disadvantage. Some of them maintain that the language of PHP has not been updated much, and hence it is still quite archaic and even, somewhat cumbersome for coding. ASP.net, which is a relatively new development, has a lot of options when it comes to languages. Here, you can use languages such as C#, J#, C++ and VB.net. Hence, when it comes to sheer choice, ASP.net has better to offer. But PHP is no less, since it can do its task quite well, even with its minimum language tools. The main thing your site will be used for is database reference. PHP is has much better support for the database management system, MySQL. This factor alone should probably help you make your decision. There is a lot to debate on about the worthiness of PHP over ASP.net or vice-versa. There is probably no end to it, and there never shall be. The problem mainly is that both of them are good in their own place, but people who have been staunchly using PHP for several years now – some of them for more than a decade – would certainly not like to go in for the new ASP.net. The price to be paid is quite high, i.e. learning a whole new syntax and getting used to it. That is more the reason why PHP is still so popular.



Good Luck!

Answer 3

try two cases:

1) PHP if you interested in design

2) ASP.NET if you interested in programming

ASP.NET more complex to work with design
