Re: Portslave \ ASP files on Linux

[Edmund <edmund wildworld net>]

Are the files already written in ASP ?  I believe that there is a
Linux/Apache port of ASP somewhere, but I'm not sure how stable or secure
it it.  Personally I'd use PHP.  It's very fast, flexible, stable, and
secure.  It's also opensource, and free.  It's very very easy to learn and
use.  If you're already an ASP programmer or just a programmer period,
there should be no problem converting to PHP.

It's at www.php.net.  There is also a library called PHPLIB, which is
opensource and free which supports session management and authentication.
The latest version of PHP supports session management intrinsically.

PHP also has native support for many databases, so it's very fast with web
based apps.

Hope this helps.

C'ya,
Edmund
