Shai,
No question is stupid

ASP: Active Server Pages - Windows NT platform
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor - UNIC Platform.
Both PHP and ASP are server-side languages which means they are processed at the server. This is a benefit because it allows you to interact with the server. This also means that they are both compatible with ALL browsers.
The main advantage that these two languages have over any other, lets use PERL for an example, is the ease of use. Both of these languages are relativly easy to learn (I learned the basics to PHP in about 3 days - ASP took a little more time). True, I am still learning on both languages (I don't think you can ever learn everything). These languages are VERY easy to learn and use and that is what sets them appart from PERL or C++.
