just tell me the advantage what u've develop has got over the others in the contest,,,, to me coldfusion is smart, asp has got support, php is free, and jsp is the killer, what u got?

LOL, men nice one, this is bound to be an intersting thread, I cant wait for the replies to start coming in.

in my opinion, they are all cool. I write with PHP and ASP, i did coldfusion way back in University days, they all have them ups and downs. so b4 i say which is best, i wanna hear from others,

I'm bound to learn a lot from this one.

@poster thanks for the post

To a carpenter with only a hammer, everything to him/her is a nail.

Every language has its use. I have used all of the above and must confess I don't have a favorite. Y? because each was used in a different situation and to solve particular issues.

At work, I have used ASP, Cold Fusion and JSP. For my side-projects, because it is easy to understand and pick up, not to mention, a majority of ISPs support it and it seems to be the language of the average Nigerian web developer (I say this cos I intend to break into the Nigerian web dev scene and in order to do so I feel a need to speak in the language of the people, so to speak), I use PHP.

Oh, I am so sorry 4 dat. Quite in a hurry typing that. thanks for correcting me lol

I use PHP mostly.I can achieve whatever i want to achieve with it.
It's easy to pick up and use,and seems to enjoy a lot of support
and "goodwill"- being an open source platform and not a commercial
product.It's like the lingua franca of web development which every
developer should know.

PHP rocks though its true they're all better at certain things.

<?= 'What is the error is that code?'
<?= 'What is the error is that code?' ?>
<?= 'What is the error is that code?'; ?>

Any of the above code will run fine. For the first, it will run if nothing comes after. PHP is the best, coldfusion prior to CF8 sucks. Am a pro coldfusion programmer and I know what am talking about. PHP and JSP are my best choice.

parse eror occured becos he skipped the ; at the end of the line.

i agree php is so cool. havent seen any challenge yet that php cant overcome

whether U omit ; or not, it depends on how U write ur code. All these lines of code will work

<?= 'What is the error is that code?'
<?= 'What is the error is that code?' ?>
<?= 'What is the error is that code?'; ?>

If U are embedding php into html, U can omit ; if the closing tag is coming after ur last line of code.

Submachine Gun vs. Sniper Rifle vs. Shotgun. Who's da best?

i think it should rather be ‘unexpected end of file on line 3‘.
