PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net

Dozix007 writes "Uberhacker.Com reports : Zend Technologies quietly announced last week the final release of the open source PHP version 5. An interesting article reports the different strengths and weaknesses of ASP vs. PHP, and it becomes quite clear that with the release of PHP5, Zend has taken a shot at ASP's heart. The differences from PHP4 to 5 has created a clear advantage for the new preprocessor over Microsoft's proprietery ASP."

Cross platform development / deployment

[amichalo]

What I love about PHP is that it is cross platform:
- The Designers can use it on their Macs
- The Developers can use it on their XP boxes
- The Servers can use it on their Linux boxes
(* yeah, I know any of these functions could be performed by any of the platforms but you get the jist.)

Where I work, PHP is used because we don't deploy Windows boxes as production servers anymore (actually just deployed the first Apple Xserve and it is a dream!) So ASP is O-U-T out of the running.

A shitty page with 107 errors and not rendering correctly enough to be read in three diferent browsers (admittedly, not the one ASP programmers prefers was in there) is not a good example for somebody trying to sell things to a web developer.
