I'm not that familiar with JSP, but I'll share my opinions.
PHP and JSP have the advantage over ASP (or more correctly VBscript/ASP, as ASP is a program class definition that can be implemented in many languages) is that PHP and JSP are platform-agnostic. Unless you're willing to foot the bucks for Sun's Java System Active Server Pages, when you're talking VBScript/ASP, you're talking IIS on Win32.
PHP has the advantage over VBscript/ASP in terms of quality of documentation and overall language organization.
PHP has the advantage over JSP and VBscript/ASP in that PHP can use native communications libraries to talk to various datasources, such as SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, etc. JSP and VBscript/ASP both use ODBC (or a cognate), which is slower.
