PHP vs ASPX

[chicka]

Someone offered to make some mods for me the other day but he codes in .aspx Anyone know what aspx is all about? I tried to google it but didn't get the answers I was looking for.. Basically i'm wondering about security, will .aspx work with mccodes and so on.

are there any benefits or drawbacks about .aspx?

ASPX is microsofts .NET version of ASP, therefore its ASP.NET :P

I hightly doubt that aspx will work with php

aspx are webpages of the .net framework (microsoft), written in either vb.net or c#. Mccodes is written in php. A simple and basic answer is that those two won't work together, at least not on most webhosts. There are options to combine both (since aspx can work on linux via mono, and php on windows) but I would advise against it. Most simple option is to keep your mods in php, just because it will save you a lot of time, work and troubles. Security all depends on the writer itself, and not on the language really.

I won't go into detail about php vs aspx, as a lot of things could be said about the two, while forgetting about other programming languages. And not to forget that personal opinion change the view of a person as well. All I will say is that you need to look at what information you already have of your current project when you will decide what programming you are going language to use. If you already have a project written in php, it might be best to stay with that.

If you want to continue to work with McCode stick with pure PHP and do not mix 2 languages (beside one like PHP and another for the client side like Javascript). I would personally NEVER EVER mix 2 languages for the back-end (like PHP) as it would simply means a big mess to fix issues, and even maintain your site without talking about the development itself. So no, don't accept any ASPx work if you want to continue with McCode. Yet you could of course re-create all in ASPx... but is it what you want?

No its not at all what I want to do. I was just wondering if it was a good idea to mix the two together. But Thank you everyone for your answers..
