    For your usual run of the mill things? There is no inherent differnce between PHP/.NET

    I will say PHP is more widely accepted because it is easier to learn the basics (please do not read into this as easier to learn as a whole whatsoever, haha), and is open-source, as in there is no entity who tries to make sure every processor is licensed on every server that is running their SQL Server (ala Microsoft).

    .NET is more of a total package when I look at it, I guess.

    I make websites, yes. At times I do see the need to not utilize .NET as the project either does not need it from a cost standpoint, or a feature standpoint, and will use PHP.

    However, most of what I do constitutes around making applicant tracking/hiring applications for companies.

    The more the web becomes an extension of the desktop, and "web" applications look and act more like "window" applications everyday, .NET is in teh fore-front.
