PHP is capable of being installed quickly and easily with many tools server side which can include image manipulation, uploading, email systems and much more. ASP is designed to require registration of components and modules to make each tool possible. ASP will usually require paying for each component upgrade as well.
ASP tends to be slower and can handle a low amount of requests before accessibility starts to lag and become labored on the server. PHP tends to be much faster and can handle thousands of requests before strain begins to become an issue.
When connecting to a database, ASP will tend to work better with SQL Servers and Access. Although it is capable of running MySQL, it is more difficult to get working on just any server. PHP has better accessibility to MySQL and other options for database connectivity.
If the server is Microsoft based, then the use of ASP with options such as SQL Server should be considered. On the other hand, if the server is Linux, BSD, or any form of Unix, then the use of a PHP and MySQL configuration is best suited.
When using ASP it is important to remember that costs behind hosting and all components that are needed can be exceedingly high for most budgets. PHP is much more versatile in terms of budget constraints and has a variety of free and opened sourced tools available for use alongside the commercial products as well. Whatever the case is for power and function, both ASP and PHP can perform well under their optimal configurations with a server.
