is asp.net better than php?

   While talking about Programming languages, we can't say that one is better than other in all situations. Here is some useful information, which I want to share...
   
   Strengths & Weaknesses of ASP.net
   ---------------------------------
   ASP.NET's strength lies clearly in its clean design and implementation. It is an object-oriented programmer's dream, with language flexibility, and with sophisticated object-oriented features supported. In that sense, it is truly interoperable with your programmers' existing skills.
   
   Another strength of ASP.NET is the development environment. For instance, developers can use WebMatrix, a community-supported tool, Visual Studio .NET, or various Borland tools such as Delphi and C++ Builder. Visual Studio, for instance, allows setting of breakpoints, tracing sections of code, and reviewing the call stack. All in all, it's a sophisticated debugging environment. Plenty of other third-party IDE solutions for ASP.NET are certain to surface as well.
   
   
   Strengths & Weaknesses of PHP
   -----------------------------
   As of beta version 4, PHP 5 still has a few shortcomings, including its lack of exceptions, event-based error-handling instances that interrupt the normal flow of a program, jumping your code to a special error-handling section. Java also provides exceptions for error handling, while C++ provides exception handling via the try, catch, and throw syntax. You can, of course, still manage errors in PHP, but the structure is not standardized, so programmers are left to their own devices on how to implement error handling, leading to less consistency and a tendency to reinvent the wheel.
   
   Another weakness is that PHP's function names are case insensitive. Some programmers might find this feature annoying, though this isn't a serious drawback.
   
   I do have misgivings about PHP's object model, however. PHP wasn't designed to be an object-oriented language. Some of those features were added later, although care was made to keep backward compatibility with PHP 3, so you're left with a bit of both models. In fact, many of these weaknesses are addressed in PHP 5. Keep your ears to the ground.
   
   What PHP lacks in a few areas, it makes up for by leaps and bounds in areas in which it excels. The price is right, so you don't have to worry about licensing issues. It's open source, too, so an entire community will keep a close eye on development, identifying bugs and making sure they get fixed. And if there's a feature you don't like, you can dabble with the code. What's more, PHP works native with Apache: It can be compiled as a module or directly into the Apache binary.
   
   But running on Apache means that, with PHP, you can take advantage of whatever server investments you've already made, because Apache runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, and various other Unix platforms. Also, going with a web server with Apache's track record means security remains a top priority. And, finally, PHP has a smaller code path, meaning there's less server-side code executed to parse and execute your PHP page, which results in more efficient memory and usage and faster execution.
