This thread (2011) shows the classic tradeoffs between PHP and ASP; replies from , , and reflect those tradeoffs (hosting, language ergonomics, career breadth). The modern reality is different: ASP.NET has been reworked as a cross‑platform, cloud‑focused stack (ASP.NET Core) while PHP has also evolved significantly — so the choice should be driven by goals and measurable outcomes, not tribal allegiance. ASP.NET Core documentation. (learn.microsoft.com)

PHP received a major overhaul with PHP 7 (big runtime and memory improvements) and later 8.x releases; modern PHP ecosystems (for example Laravel) make building maintainable apps fast. Those improvements mean PHP remains a practical choice for web work and rapid product development. PHP 7.0 release notes. Laravel homepage. (php.net)

Practical path for a final‑year MCA student interning in PHP: finish and ship the internship project (real projects matter more than language). Add the project to a public repo, then spend a focused block (4–8 weeks) learning C# fundamentals and one ASP.NET Core tutorial to build a small CRUD app so both stacks can be compared on equal terms. Modern hosting and deployment (containers, managed cloud services) remove many old Windows/Linux hosting constraints — ASP.NET Core runs on Linux and both stacks can be containerized and deployed to cloud services. Azure App Service blog: containers & ASP.NET Core on Linux. Containerize an app with Docker (.NET docs). (azure.microsoft.com)

Quick checklist (apply and document): complete one deployed PHP project (show Git/CI), build one deployed ASP.NET Core project, learn Git and basic Docker, and list tech on the CV with links. Choose by which stack lets the student ship meaningful work fastest while also opening preferred job lanes — both options are valid when backed by projects and deployable evidence.

Both are equally effective.

Keep in mind that most web hosting companies do not allowed asp server pages, only php. This might affect you in the future.:)

AndreRet - Yeah, most Linux hosts. There are *plenty* of Windows/IIS hosts also that support ASP.NET no problem.

I would say ASP.NET is a much better thing to learn especially if you want to be able to have skills that translate outside of web development. ASP.NET is usually written in C# or VB.NET, and if you learn a language like C# then you will able to write many other things besides websites, like Windows apps, iPhone apps, Android apps, Windows Phone apps, and not to mention Linux/Mac OS X apps.

ASP.NET is superior to PHP because PHP is a horrible language, but you can use good languages with ASP.NET, and there are Mono implementations, and if they're good then Windows licenses are not a problem. You don't need to worry about "web hosting companies" because why wouldn't you get a VPS? Exactly.
