ASP vs PHP

[sonalmac]

Which is the best scripting language for search engine? Can any one describe ASP and PHP for that? Thanks for help.

Either would do - search engines don't care how the page is generated, they just index the content. Use whichever you're more comfortable with.

I agree with Chris... The only reason I chose PHP and MySQL over ASP and MSSQL was cost. I use ASP & VBScript at my company for Admin Tools. Publicly Apache, PHP, and MySQL.

Personally I wouldn't build a search engine in either

BTW ASP is not a language

Chris, don't leave us hanging... what language would you build a search engine in?

Something that would compile into a real program or series of programs/DLLs. C, C++, Delphi etc maybe even VB at a push though that may limit the scalability somewhat

The public facing UI could be in server side code without any real issues though.

something coded in an ASP language, PHP, ColdFusion etc would be fine for limited use, such as a site search engine or similar smallish database, but scaling up would be a problem.
