Hi Rob,
Not really. Actually, I generally associate ASP with a windows
environment and PHP with a 'nix environment. A large corporate
environment is likely to have both. (A really large corporate
environment is likely to have a little bit of everydangthing!)
Sooo ... why would you say that? Do you think more self-taught
developers are starting off by learning PHP than ASP? That would
be an interesting proposition to consider.
Folks on thelist excluded ... would a beginner with a new machine
(probably Windows based) be more likely to download and install a
LAMP setup ... or load PWS off their install disk and buy a copy
of Access?
I dunno.
Is there a greater preponderance of cheap or f2o-like 'nix
playground hosting than cheap win hosting these days? That could
be another explanation that would support a contention for more
PHP-ers.

with that nasty SQL 'decode' he should be working on. [Select
the appropriate column based on the sysdate at run time - "Oh,
it's July is it? Then we'll give you column 9!" Grrrr.])
