subject: Difference Between Php Programming And Design Programming [print this page] When there is a link between the need for database driven sites, web programmers or web developers to unanimously agree on the PHP scripting or programming Webx technology. ASP (Active-server-pages) and PHP (Hyper Text Preprocessor) are considered the two most popular and standard web programming language due to their unique advantages over other web development languages.
Both Webx technologies and PHP is designed to support dynamic database-driven web sites. Webx smooth running of Microsoft products, and it can only be used with IIS (Internet Information Server), because PHP can be run on any platform, and it may be associated with different types of databases.
Webxis a relatively new programming language, which was launched in 2002 by Microsoft. This web development language is best suited for Web development, Web services and dynamic Web sites. On the other hand PHP was launched in 1995. By Rasmus Lerdorf. This is an open-source software and can be downloaded for free under the PHP license. Webxtechnology PHP and some other differences which are itemized below:
Database Compatibility
PHP uses the MySQL database connection, it is by nature very flexible. Another important fact is that it will incur additional costs because MySQL can be accessed free of charge. Since Webx connect the database, but MS-SQL can be used free of charge from Microsoft uses MS-SQL.
Price
Linux can run PHP, and Linux is a free operating system. Therefore the costs of developing a website in PHP is extremely low. On the other hand, you must install Internet Information Server (IIS) on Windows Server platform, if you want to run Webx program. As the Windows Server platform is a free product, production costs are limited, must be increased.
Total Run Time
It was noticed that Webx code runs slower than the PHP code. This is because Webx using a local server, and works as an inbuilt memory space is used for running PHP.
Ease of coding
Webx codes are a bit tricky, and the developer has to work hard to get the hang of it. But PHP code is very simple and the programmer does not diligent effort, because it is relatively easier than other types of programming languages.
Platform connectivity problem
ASP code is usually run on Windows platforms, but if you install ASP Apache server, or it can run on Linux platform as well. PHP has a unique advantage in this regard. These codes can be associated with different types of platforms such as Windows, Linux, and UNIX.
Tool cost
PHP code is available free of charge, various forums and blogs, because it is open source software. In addition, a number of useful tools that can be used in PHP can also be downloaded free of charge. However, there are no free tools for ASP.NET.
Background Language Support
The codes are used in PHP is very similar to C + + language and its syntax is similar to the syntax for C and C + +. Therefore, if you have the correct knowledge of C or C + +, you do not expect any difficulties in coding the PHP programming language. However, the syntax is more or less similar to Visual Basic syntax and it is everything but easy.
