PHP is by far the most universal, as it works on Apache, and most Windows, servers. There is tons of support, instruction, help, and free scripts for everything you want to implement.

I am going with ASP myself, after much consideration, but I will not be able to use it on most hosting companies (>65% are Apache and <30% are Windows - more than 2:1 for Apache availability).

My reasoning is that I want to move towards .net later, and I also already know enough php to get by. I am also moderately concerned with the php vulnerabilities, but all have them.

If you go with JSP, you will be looking at learning a compiled programming language (java) and be very restricted as to hosting options - along with it being more expensive.

This is a far as I know, I am not very experienced yet. However, this is usually what most people recommend :O)

! You could also learn perl/cgi, but I am unaware what kind of database you can use with that, a very, very important consideration.

Hi gheeta,
Welcome to WPW :)
I agree with what mikmik said, PHP code is c language based i.e. not much of diff and the main advantage of it is, PHP works on any platform where ASP and ASP.Net works smoothly on Windows platform, there are some plugins/softwares available in the market which allows ASP or ASP.NET to run under *nix but it cannot give same functionality as windows machine...

so my suggestion would be PHP or if you are good at java then JSP....

Regards
Deep
