Advantages and disadvantages of PHP and ASP. NET

Analysis on advantages and disadvantages of converting PHP to ASP. NET

Whether you have selected PHP or not, you can view the price, speed, efficiency, security, platform support, and open-source performance in the following table, we can all tell that its strength is far better than its weakness. The only disadvantage is the lack of object-oriented support. However, this is a relatively secondary defect. Although the structure of the language cannot be ignored, in the end, excellent coding still comes from repeated practices, executions, good habits, and discipline.

Price:I will not simply consider the price of my first investment. For PHP, it is obviously free of charge, but we also need to consider the cost of development, maintenance and debugging. You may also need to purchase the Zend Optimization engine. For ASP, You have to invest in products at the beginning, and you will spend additional technical expenses, such as purchasing graphics processing class libraries or other. However, in the long run, PHP does not require you to pay the upgrade fee or purchase more licenses. Anyone who has been in touch with the license will know that the company often spends a lot of time and money on ensuring product compatibility. In addition, the feedback handling situations for bugs found and fixed are also different, which can also be converted to time consumption, thus affecting the overall development cost.
Speed and efficiency:As I mentioned earlier, ASP. NET is a framework that allows you to use multiple programming languages. It also claims to have an outstanding object-oriented programming model. This is true, but it reduces the speed. Speaking of these advantages, for pages with the same function, pages running on ASP need to analyze and execute more code than PHP. PHP is a "fast food" solution, which can be implemented first. There are still many robustness problems that can be left in 2.0 or 3.0 for Supplement, in addition, its core code is compiled and optimized, and the program can run at high speed. Speed is not the only consideration, and memory consumption is also important.
Security:ASP. NET runs on IIS. This is a system that has suffered numerous attacks. Similar messages are generated in almost weekly it news. In fact, it has become a liability, no matter how much dollars the entire market has invested in it, many IT professionals have refused to expose their network to IIS web servers. While PHP and Apache work together, it boasts good speed and reliability, and excellent security.
Platform support: ASP. NET initially runs on IIS and can also run on Apache, while Apache can run on all platforms. PHP is designed to run on Apache, so you have many proven reliable platforms to choose from.
Open source or not:Open source is not just a patent for idealistic programmers, nor exclusive to companies that want to save dozens of dollars on the license. When you encounter bugs in the software you purchased, open source is a good product.

Whether using ASP. NET or PHP, many users may use your software and discover bugs. For ASP. NET, these bugs will go through a bureaucratic process to inform, fix, verify, and then wait until the next patch is released. PHP is quickly repaired and released. Anyone who has seen open-source development knows that new product releases or patches often occur within days rather than weeks or months like commercial software. If you think it is not fast enough, you can fix it yourself if you want.
