So, it's server side scripting since the sérver interprets it and renders HTML it then sends back to the client. <br />
<br />
It uses OOP and the correlary in ASP.NET is the C sharp that's integrated into theRazor file through the use of the @ symbol.<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have been using Razor and MVC3 since January (MVC1 and MVC2 before that), but only now got exposed to PHP.<br />
<br />
1) What advantage does Razor have over PHP? <br />
2) Is PHP object oriented? Is it a scripting language?<br />
3) For PHP to be used in creating the View, what back-end technologies could be used to create the Model and the Controller? <br />
<br />
I presume if I could find PHP to be a fair alternative to Razor that once I find an alternative back-end technology to C#, I could then host the solution on LINUX. True?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

PHP versus Razor

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
