i like triangles.

Low - Middle budget clients: PHP, Ruby
High budget clients: ASP, Java

If you are hosting on Linux then PHP (even if pseudo ASP might be available)

If it's Windows hosting, then probably ASP, although PHP *may* be more suited depending on what you're doing - if you are windows hosted now though you'd probably go for .net which is very nice (although I do still love classic asp)

The one you know how to code the best is the best one to use.

-- or which ever you are interested in learning.

I'm Open Source so Apache & PHP everytime for me...

i prefer php. it's very good for me

php all the way, community supported non microsoft product, need i say more lol... the day microsoft learn how to render a web page correctly is the day i will learn asp.

how is knowledge of asp relevant to html rendition? bottom line: both asp and php output the same. if you don't know how to do html/css so that it renders cross browser, then what different does it make what pre-processing language you like?

the best tool for the job - there are things you cannot do on a lamp system. there are also marketing "tools" - people that have the habit of listening to crap like ".net is the latest", they come to you and they go "can we also get the latest .net?" and then you answer, no, microsoft is crap, what you really need is a free open source system. a hard sale...

personally, i know very little asp but i am not naive enough to dismiss it out of hand.

I prefer PHP most.
