PHP is easier to learn, there is a lot of community based help, scripts, like phpBB (In my opinion, the best one), are more common, so it is likely that if you encounter a problem, someone else will have already have encountered it (and hopefully) been able to fix it. It is possible to install on windows (for development only, you would have to be mad to host live websites on Microsoft), on servers like IIS 5.1 (The one that comes with XP Professional), and on XAMPP. PHP supports MySQL by default, I have got MySQL working through ASP with some research though. Overall, PHP is certainly the best choice, though if you have the option, choose both.

1. Cost No windows license required - run it on your Linux server. Technically you don't have to buy an IDE to code ASP, however most people do.

Resources Apache/PHP uses dramatically less resources than IIS/ASP - so you could get away with cheaper /older hardware. Works great with Linux. 3. Robustness/Reliability Generally speaking Apache/PHP is significantly more stable than IIS/ASP, so you will have generally better uptime. 4. Documentation/Standards Not sure how ASP is, however PHP.net has great documentation for hard-core developers, all the way down to the I just started today developers.
