Much voice has been heard on the net about why php with mysql server should be used over asp.net with ms sql server or the other round, but not much facts or reasons has been given. I took a considerable time to read many posts and arguments on this topic, but the only point i could remember and probably the only point that filled the net was about the issues of Open source and licensing.

Best on your experience(s), why and when should one of this technologies prefer to the other? Take into considerations
1. Cost (code editor included)
2. security ( both the application integrity and code security)
3. Ease of Maintenance
4. Time of development
5. ... etc
Ease of learning is excluded

no comment? No reasons?

I think what you have taken time to read across the interwebs is enough for you to make a decision on what to go for. This topic is a time waster. Use what works for you.

yeah but as i said, i didn't get more facts. I know that there are experienced web developers/programmers in nairaland. My question is calling for personal experience from those that have used the two technologies.
I hope you can decode it right
