Lately » Scrawls
Today, I stumbled across PHP versus ASP. Many interesting points. I think, I am at the point where I would be able to make a switch here at sashaDesign.com (as if it were a big deal, heh). My hosting company would do that for an additional charge of 50$, which is fine for me, but there are some other issues that I am worried about. For example, all the pages indexed by Google (or some other search engine, if there are any) would disappear because of the file extension change. Some URLs are better than others, but unfortunately I didn't think about that before. I know that it is possible to tell the Apache and PHP engine to execute pages with the .asp extension, but I don't have access to the httpd.conf file. Can I do that via .htaccess file? Maybe I can solve the problem using mod_rewrite, but I am still not clear about that :-) I am thinking out loud again, I know.

Google should index every page properly, even if you use variables in your URL.. don't know why it doesn't with your page.
Just yesterday I redesigned svastara.com using PHP + MySQL, no more text files.. and it's all in one big file using functions.. mmm.. nerdy

The page cannot be displayed!?
I know about the issues with dynamic urls but I am talking about something else. If I do the switch, bio.asp becomes bio.php and so on. I am looking for a way to get around it.

Your DNS hasn't been updated yet.. You'll be able to see the page in a day or two :o)

If you continue to host on the NT server with PHP and ASP suport then that is not a problem... you can keep both asp and php files...
The best solution is to host your site at your home computer if you have fix IP so there you can keep bio.asp and bio.php file

vitez-koja took it over :-)
We've been passing it to each other for a couple of months now. I think, Google finally realized who it really belongs to :-) I am not complaining.

ASP vs. PHP? My solution and a valid statement:
use Perl;
