I'm building an e-commerce site that will include a flash component, looking up suppliers, and a complete ordering system.
I have 3-4 months to get it reasonably functional.
We don't have any funding right now -- everything will have to come out of our own pockets. PHP would be cheaper on the hosting side of things, however I'm more familiar with ASP.NET
Which technology would you use, in this situation?
What technology should I use? PHP or ASP.NET?
Its a hard call which format to use. I use both php and asp for websites i have worked on, and would say on the whole php is a better option.
The reason i say this is that when writing php pages - to me the code seems much more simple and easy to read. - so if you have script error with a page and need to find the solution quickly php i find easier. However thats just my personal opinion.
But if you have used ASP before you already will be starting from a certain level which will help. Also there is a great website i found for building ASP sites in dreamweaver - webthang.co.uk. I built this site using many of the tutorials from webthang in ASP - http://www.carcontracthireonline.co.uk
but on a whole i belive PHP is easier, with you already knowing ASP - the same principles can be used i.e. the same SQL statements.
