I'm taking a poll, Whats Your Faviorite Server-Side Language?

Mine is definitley PHP because it combines a powerful code with cheap price.

1. PHP
2. ASP

PHP for the same reasons as yours, and that it integrates very well with an excellent database, MySQL.

ASP — first server-side language I learnt. I'm hangin on to it for sentimental value. Sticking out tongue
It's just my MS alternative for PHP; only used where PHP isn't available. IMO, it has too many weaknesses: MS Access, cost, speed etc.

PHP wins. Again. Laughing out loud

I do most of my web development using *NIX solutions, where PHP (& mySQL) is my first choice, followed by PERL.

Before learning PHP or PERL, I used ASP (& MS SQL 7) on IIS. The cost was the main reason for the switch.

My favourite server side language would have to be PHP. It's fast, reliable and it can be used for so many things. Plus I like the fact that it can be combined with one of the webs most popular databases, mySQL.

K,

I'm gonna throw a spanner in here and say ColdFusion as its is just as scalable and powerful as ASP & PHP but at the same time easier to learn and code...

PHP is my favorite and Perl is second. I've also worked a lot with ASP and MS SQL, but I really don't like ASP.

PHP followed by PERL... I learned PERL 4 years ago, and PHP 2 years ago, and learning PERL made PHP much easier, but PHP is easier to work with and has more user-friendly errors

Laughing out loud

What part of "Internal Server Error" isn't friendly. Wink

PHP has given MANY people the opportunity to program who would have never been able to before. To write a simple PHP script is almost easier than HTML Laughing out loud
