There is one minor difference that caused a major change in structure of the two scripting language.
PHP offers the isset() function but ASP don't. in a way there are the pros and cons. For PHP, you can create the whole site in one page, even though that would not be advisable. Because of isset(), you can get input and display output using the same page. However, this would result in security loop holes. Whereas for ASP, without the isset() keyword, ASP structures are usually made up of at least 2 pages. One for receiving input and the other for display the result, output. This of cos patches the security holes. In a way, PHP provides a simpler way for programmer. Also, one can chose not to use isset() !! But ASP only supported on win platforms... =( -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Rodriguez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 January 2003 10:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP vs. ASP Hi!
