You're comparing apples an oranges. PHP is no more sane than classic ASP. They're both pretty awful.

- brehaut 17y agoI think thats unfair. PHP sucks some hairy donkey's balls, but VBScript is significantly worse. Dim, Redim Preserve, ByRef, Arrays that are basicly C arrays (see also Redim), Ridiculous Object/Value dichotomy (for those that arent aware you need to use the Set keyword to assign an object to a variable, but not for a value. The distinction bleeds all over your code and makes things hurt) and friends are evil sons of bitches that don't belong in a scripting language.
- voidpointer 17y agoHello pot. This is kettle. You're black.
- brehaut 17y agoWould you like to expand on your claim? Be quite clear that i dislike both languages. VBS is the worst of the two though.
- wvenable 17y agoClassic ASP is whole class of awful all to itself. PHP has far more in common with other scripting languages than it does with Classic ASP. The fact that they both support embedding code into HTML is their only similarity.
- mseebach 17y agoWasabi >> Classic ASP, if that's what you're referring to. But it's a whole lot more, and on top of that it's proprietary. PHP isn't, and that alone makes it more sane.
