Which server side programming do you prefer?

now i am having some lessons on asp and its easy to learn and we see that asp is very powerful server siding.but i know that php is also easy to learn and good to make dynamic pages.now i am between of them to prefer for the future.but can preefer just aso now because i have never tried to code on php.

php is the best.

I prefer PHP and MySQl on Linux. The only problem I face on Linux is there are no better web designig softwares. But still i am happy with Quanta Plus and nvu.

I love PHP and MYSQL Combination.. i love open source programming languages. I know ASP a little bit, but this language is so slow. No webserver programming language can beat PHP.

Linux box, Ruby language, Rails framework... Ruby on Rails & MySQL. Prior to discovering ruby on rails, I used PHP

I like php as the server side programming language and the mysql as the back end.

I only know html so there is no other choice for me.But I am willing to learn, can you guide me as to which one is easier to learn.

I like Mysql as a backend and Php or Java as a frontend but i also like asp, i will learn all of them after my exams, Java is more better than other because it is plateform independent.

I agree with philippines. PHP with MySQL is the best combination.

I never got into PHP. I learned ASP at my first web job and I've been using it exclusively ever since. I like that you can connect to SQL databases or MS Access databases. We used Cold Fushion for a year, but I didn't like that language much. I think I like ASP because I feel like I can do anything in it if I try hard enough! At my current job we also use XML with Sharepoint, and SAS programming, but I still prefer ASP.

I am not experienced with either but I tried both and stuck with PHP. I stopped learning a while back and want to pick it up again. I was doing it on a windows box. I used XAMPP to set up an easy development environment.

Preferably ASP.NET. I gives you a load of flexibility for designing small to enterprise level applications. It also aids you in R.A.D(Rapid Application development).

I prefer PHP with SQL... :D

I love linux, with php and MySql, really is a powerfull combination, and dont forget about the tons of free content, tutorials, software, CMS etc, and the most important, can be free :)
