I am in the process of converting my site from ASP to PHP. To me, it seems like there isn't much difference between the two. But since I am upgrading to a new web server that does not support ASP, I was wondering if anyone had any bad PHP experiences. Seems nice and easy thus far :)

I used php for the first time with sharewaregaming.com and it was a pleasant experience all around. I didn't run into any unforseen major hurdles except a few security issues which were quickly resolved.

PHP is great. Dexterity.com uses PHP extensively, and I've never had any major problems with it. www.php.net is an outstanding reference, especially the user comments posted about every function.

Yeah I see what you guys mean, it only took me 3 hours to port my entire site :-)

ASP was causing a tiny pause on some of my pages. I guess the poor little cobalt raq4 with a k6-2 450 mhz just wasn't enough to keep up with all that ASP overhead. But with PHP and a 1 ghz p3, I should be fine for a few years :D
