PHP vs. ASP for Beginner?

[compserv]

I think also worth considering is that php is generally license free, I've heard for asp.net there are Microsoft licenses?

I think you'll find it comes with the cost of the licence for the server.

It turns out that programmer who recommended me ASP is not so skilled at PHP. I wonder why he suggested that.
I prefer PHP !
