PHP:
Compared to ASP, PHP is very easy to pick up and learn a little at a time.
However, businesses do not readily embrace PHP for many reasons. A great deal of companies are running operating systems such as Windows Server 2003 or one of the Window NTs, which have been optimized to run Microsoft’s proprietary language ASP.
ASP:
As far as programming languages go, ASP is definitely not as straightforward as PHP. The language has a “plethora”(ndr. An excess of blood in the circulatory system or in one organ or area) of confusing programming patterns that will take a while to learn. Besides that difficulty, there is also much less free information on the internet
ASP and ASP.NET are widely used in the business world
SO:
Are you looking for a job and have time and resources to learn a rather difficult technology? Learn ASP. Want to program in your spare time, as more of a hobby than a career? PHP will treat you just fine
