We have both FTP and ASP access at http://www.amzweb.net
although our ASP is Sun's ASP language. I don't know if they
require Microsoft specific ASP or not.

If Sun ASP is okay, might want to check us out.

(Just a side note up there ... unlike the past, very few people
actually use ASP these days. It is very much a dying language
and support for it continues to dwindle. Microsoft releasing
.NET might breathe some new life into it but it has a long way
to go to ever reach the current support and popularity that PHP
currently has. Might want to take a good look at PHP)

That's not true. There is still a lot of support for ASP, especially among professional businesses. PHP is undoubtedly the ideal language for anyone needing a database, but ASP is much more user-friendly in terms of a scripting language. For example, the arrays in PHP are really messy, and the semicolons really irritate me.

i like the semi-colons. the reason for this is that you can put more than one line on oneline, since PHP sees the semi-colon as the end of the line. I myself find the PHP is easier to understand and use than ASP, in many ways. And about the Array problem, i havnt seen what the problem is. To me, the arrays work, and work fine for what i need it. Might just be me.

I just hate how I spend 30 minutes working on something, upload it, only to find that I forgot a semicolon on line 137. ;)

Arrays in PHP...they just seem plain confusing. Don't get me wrong - they're just as good as ASP at the start. After you nest several arrays within one another everything is just a jumbled mess.
 
Amz why i am banned from your site

Yeah .. i couldn't access to your site for the free ASP hosting cos they say i have been BANNED ... DESIPITE that I HAVE NOT EVEN visited your Website
 
PHP is the better language, and you can't CHMOD on windows servers (Which ASP runs on)..

Plus from .Net Playground's rules:

Perhaps I should get the report button out for those sites I see with BBS's on dotnetplayground... :rolleyes:
 
*dislikes PHP a lot*

it suffers from the same deficiency as most other 'free' projects I've come across. There's 10.000 different versions of it "out there" and they all differ in some little way (that and the fact that each version can be compiled in another 1.000 different ways).

The one thing I dislike about it the most is the fact that variables don't have to declared before use. Especially with the $this-> in classes it makes for very hard to find bugs if you happen to leave it out once somewhere.
Even VBScript has the "Option Explicit" option to issue an error when you reference a variable that doesn't exist.

I see the fact that variables don't have to be declared as both an advantage and a disadvantage. It certainly does save some time and space and is also less confusing, but as you pointed out, it definitely makes it hard to find bugs.

As for the "10,000 versions", the PHP functions and operators that I need seem to work universally. ;)

they could just make it act like *cough* VBScript *cough*. Add a statement at the front to "die" when referencing one that doesn't exist.
Right now E_NOTICE or E_ALL has to do and it won't catch something as simple as:
PHP:
$Test = 'something';
...
$Tests = 'something else';

I've noticed a few in the past few days that didn't work for me... :)
of course they're all useful ones that don't exist in the version my host installed yet :mad:
