ASP/ASP.net vs. JSP/CFM vs. PHP
This almost goes hand in hand with my previous question about web deployment. I need to deploy a new website for a city and I want it to be as scaleable as possible. Use for searches, databases, online bill pay, etc.
This is going to run on IIS (i know i know, not my doing but it needs to be on a windows IIS box due to reasons beyond my control)
Given the following above which would you go with for a type of page.
ASP/ASP.net
JSP/CFM
PHP
Other
If what and why. Im trying to find the best solution for depolyment. Im willing to put in much time for the learning curve on either of them im just trying to find the one which is most worthwhile of the time.
Thanks in advance for the info.

I've been contemplating learning a new language myself. From everything I have read so far, I think I am leaning towards PHP. It is very HTML friendly and does not have any of the traditional cross-browser problems associated with other formats.

To headIdiot, either language has nothing to do with the browser you run it in, rather the server you're using. You can still write IE-centric markup with PHP and write standard-compliant markup with ASP.
Hi,
PHP - again the mobility issue. I write ASP (if forced) and PHP, I write in PHP whenever I can.
The only time I need ASP now is to answer questions on EE, lol. ;)
The biggest benefit is the licensing, also for your agency. They will perhaps move to an Linux solution, if the support is available (which is the only restrictive factor, apart from any legacy custom applications the dept has) when the accountants see the cost benefits. At that stage, you can convert ASP > PHP, but I've not seen anything do it with any degree of accuracy.
Regardless, I find that I need less PHP code to perform certain actions. I guess I just like the open-source stuff. And it's easy and quick to set up on anything MS. Have a look and see how many web servers run on Apache.

Mobility and scalabilty are the key issues. What if MS decide to ditch it, if it isn't commercially viable? lol At least the free software community don't have that worry...
Hope this helps.
