PHP always was more inovative than

ASP fan, I have to totally agree with both of you.
ASP has it's plus points though!
PHP as a language is more functional, and no-one will argue with that. It is the case that more functions, procedures and objects (packaged black box code) are available because someone decided to bundle them in. As an example, Microsoft decided to include a 'replace' function in
ASP, which lets you substitute occurences of specific text within a string for something else.... they wrote the function for us.... but thats not to say this would be impossible without that function.
PHP cannot do more than
ASP!!! Functionally they are on a level footing.
PHP and
ASP are extendable, and for anyone who knows my
ASP coding style (ie... write classes for everything) will know my code is highly re-usable.... therefore extending my 'personal
ASP framework'
A language is only as powerful as the stuff it lets you do.... whether the 'stuff' is built in as standard or not, or whether the stuff *could* be encapsulated in an custom build object or class (thus extending the language) to me is un-inportant.
