PHP is very popular and it will last... Problem with PHP is that is not
object oriented language... PHP can run on both platforms, MS, and
Unix-alike platforms. .NET technology is, no question, the best internet
programming platform ever. And it becomed even better in 2005 version! It
takes maybe little more effort to learn .Net, but once you have, it is much
easier and faster development than PHP. I'm not against a PHP, I have used,
PHP, ASP 3.0, Asp.Net 2003 and 2005 with VB and C#, and I found .Net
platform the best platform ever... Plus, it have the best integrated
development environment!

I develop in asp (not .NET), yet I've had very little experience with
VB.NET.
I've seen php and its somewhat similar to asp - simple coding.
I'm torn - what platform to go with. I am with a local Government -
somewhat of a Microsoft Shop.
Will php last? Any unbiased positions on php vs .net? Which has more options
and functionality for the end user and integration with other systems?
