Hi everyone,

I am totally new to Web application dev. Currently i am learning PHP 5
with MySQL. My doubts are :

1. Is PHP is suitable for developing a full blown web application ?

2. What is the purpose of having RMI/COBRA in web dev. What is the
equivalent available in PHP?

3.Why ASP.net always mentioned as ASP.net with VB.net/C#.net ? Can i
intergrate PHP like this i.e with any programming languages?

Thank you!

Yes. Lots of complex web applications are built with PHP.

These things are mainly meant for libraries that run on a separate
server. I never had a need for them, neither in java nor in php.
Because PHP runs on a server, it would be natural to use http requests
(in the form of SOAP or otherwise). There is an RPC package for PHP.
Never used it, though.

Because the .NET system claims to be language independent. You can use
both languages for Active Server Pages. In fact, you could use more than
one language for plain ASP as well (VBScript/JScript).

No. PHP can invoke other routines through a shell, .NET, COM or java,
but it is not the same as ASP.


Best regards

Definitely.

Just ways of spreading the workload around. Only the very largest sites
really need them.

Did you try to Google these terms? I found lots of good its.

ASP is a method of accessing resources, not a language. You access it
with VB, C#, etc. It works fine if you want to be restricted to Windows
servers.
